Penne Pasta with Pesto and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

We love pesto pasta, it’s delicious, easy to make, and good for your heart! With the addition of sun-dried tomatoes, this recipe is a simple, rustic, and delicious take on an Italian classic.

Ingredients:

• 1 box FiberPasta Penne
• Sun-dried tomatoes
• 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves
• 6 gloves garlic, finely chopped
• 1 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil Carmela di Caro
• Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)

Directions:

• Start off by preparing your home-made pesto. Roughly chop the basil and place in a small bowl. Add in the garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper. Allow the pesto to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.
• In a pot of boiling water, cook the pasta for around 6-7 minutes, stirring occasionally. 
• Once al dente, drain the pasta. Stir in the pesto sauce and add the sun-dried tomatoes. Mix again and serve! If necessary, you can add an extra dash of olive oil.
