One-Pan Silky Sun-Dried Tomato Angel Hair

Ingredients

• 3 tbsp Butter
• 3 Garlic (minced)
• 2 cup Chicken stock (or bone broth)
• 8 oz Sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, drained)
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt (to taste)
• Black pepper (to taste)
• Red pepper flakes (to taste)
• 0.5 cup Half-and-half (or whole milk)
• 8 oz Angel hair pasta
• 2 tbsp Cream cheese (softened)
• 0.333 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps

1. 1

   Melt 3 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add 3 cloves of minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Stir in 2 cups of chicken stock, 8 ounces of drained sun-dried tomatoes, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, and salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to taste.

4. 4

   Pour in 1/2 cup of half-and-half and bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

5. 5

   Add 8 ounces of angel hair pasta to the skillet. Let it soften for 30 seconds, then use tongs to submerge the pasta completely in the liquid.

6. 6

   Simmer for 5 minutes, stirring regularly to prevent the pasta from sticking together.

7. 7

   Reduce the heat to low. Stir in 2 tablespoons of softened cream cheese and 1/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

8. 8

   Continue stirring until the cheeses are completely melted and the sauce becomes velvety.

9. 9

   If the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of additional stock to reach your desired consistency. Serve immediately while hot and glossy.

Notes

If you don't have half-and-half, whole milk can be used as a substitute. Ensure the cream cheese is softened before adding to ensure it melts smoothly into the sauce.
