PENNE WITH PESTO CREAM SAUCE AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES



Penne With Pesto Cream Sauce and Sun-Dried Tomatoes image

easy to make, and tastes like you put a lot of effort into it. I found the recipe in the Chicago Sun-Times, and modified it a little. You can easily substitute some other kind of pasta for the penne, and add or subtract other ingredients. Adding meat would make it a more complete meal, but it's pretty filling without.

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

7 -8 ounces multi-grain whole wheat penne
2/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup prepared pesto sauce
salt and pepper
parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook penne according to directions, about 9 minutes for al dente.
  • In a medium-size saucepan, simmer cream over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it has reduced by a third. Remove from heat and stir in the pesto sauce and sun-dried tomatoes. Let stand a little to let the sauce thicken, if desired.
  • When the penne is cooked, drain well and add the cream sauce. Season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat the pasta well with the sauce.
  • Serve immediately, sprinkled with the cheese, if desired.
