I love how the sun-dried tomatoes gave a different approach to this classic Penne Alfredo dish. Try this recipe now and taste it yourself. I promise you that it will not disappoint you at all! Have a beautiful day, friends. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
5oz / 150g Streaky Bacon, chopped
10.5oz / 300g Penne Pasta
½ c / 40g freshly grated Parmesan (plus extra to serve)
¾ c / 75g Sun-Dried Tomatoes, sliced
1 teaspoon Garlic, minced
1 ¼ c / 300ml Heavy/Double Cream, at room temp
1 handful of Fresh Basil, chopped (save some for garnish)
2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Place a skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium.
Add bacon and cook until crispy. Discard any accumulated grease.
Add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, then saute until aromatic.
Add butter and allow it to melt. Stir until well blended.
Meanwhile, place a large pot with salted water on the stove and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to boil.
Add the pasta and cook until firm to bite. Set aside about a cup of the pasta water to later use. Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In the skillet, add the cream and stir until well blended. Simmer for about a minute on low-medium heat until the texture becomes thick.
Add the basil, Parmesan cheese, and seasonings. Stir until well mixed.
Add the cooked pasta and toss until well coated by the delicious sauce.
Let it simmer for a few minutes until the pasta absorbs the sauce. Add a bit of pasta water if the texture becomes too thick.
Garnish each serving with freshly chopped basil and Parmesan cheese.
Serve and enjoy!
