• 12 oz fettuccine or spaghetti
• 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• to taste salt and pepper

Instructions

1. In a large pot or deep skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
2. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the pot and stir for another minute.
3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the fettuccine (or spaghetti) to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the broth. Cook the pasta for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Once the pasta is al dente, reduce the heat to low and slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine.
6. Add dried basil, oregano, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well and allow to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens.
7. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
8. Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves before serving.
