Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta Sauce

Another fabulous and oh so simple cream based sauce. Add chicken or go vego, its up to you! Best served with fettuccini but don't limit yourself!

Serves: 3

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Chicken stock
• 200mL Cream
• Sundried tomatoes, chopped
• Fresh Basil
• 2 Cloves Garlic, crushed
• 1 Tbsp. Butter/Margarine
• Pepper

Optionals:

• Mushrooms
• Bacon Bits

The Sauce

1. Over moderate heat, melt butter in a small/medium saucepan with the garlic.
2. Add 3/4 of the stock and the tomatoes (and mushrooms/bacon bits if applicable) and simmer until the tomatoes are tender
3. Reduce.
4. Add the cream and basil, and simmer for 10-12min, or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
5. Add pepper to taste.

Stir through pasta of choice, and garnish with shaved parmesan and a basil leaf.

This is one of my signature dishes, my family love it when I make this for them, and it goes great with any kind of pasta, especially fettuccini, linguine, spaghetti, gnocchi, and ravioli. As always, substitute for low fat options to create a healthier meal, however, be careful with this one as the sauce really wont thicken nicely unless you use a good quality heavy cream. I recommend Dollop Double Cream. You can also stir through seafood for this one, however always be careful when cooking with seafood - be sure of your guests dietary requirements, and never ever buy anything but the best and freshest products.

Keep Stirring and Smiling,
