Ingredients
- 8 ounces pasta any kind
- 1/2 cup basil pesto homemade OR store bought
- 1/3 cup sun dried tomatoes sliced into strips
- freshly grated parmesan cheese (+ optional: burrata)
- salt and pepper to taste
- reserved pasta water
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil then season the water with salt. Add the pasta and cook per package directions for al dente.
- Before you drain the pasta, ladle out about 1/2 cup of pasta water and set it aside.
- Transfer the drained pasta to the pot, add the pesto, sun dried tomatoes and 1/4 cup of pasta water then toss to completely coat. If your sauce seems dry, add a couple more tablespoons of pasta water but don’t overdo the water.
- Grate fresh Parmesan cheese over the top (optional: burrata) then serve right away with some good crusty bread and extra cheese at the table.
