This is my Aunt’s fabulous pasta dish. It’s easy to make. All you need are these 5 ingredients:
Your choice of pasta
A head of garlic – chopped
Olive oil – about 3-4 tablespoons
Sun-dried tomatoes – a handful, add more if you want
Parmesan Cheese – to be sprinkled as generously as you want
For this dish, we used Rotelle — pasta shaped like wagon wheels. They’re cute, aren’t they? While you can use spaghetti or linguini, it’s also a good idea to explore other funky pasta shapes to add to the visual appeal of your dish.
So here’s what you do.
1. Cook pasta according to pack directions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a pan, heat the olive oil. When hot, slide in the chopped garlic and cook till almost golden.
3. Slide in the cooked pasta and stir, stir, stir.
4. Put in a handful (or more) of the sun-dried tomatoes and stir some more.
5. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
Done! 5 ingredients, 5 steps, and hopefully you get 5 out of 5 stars for this one. Happy eating!
