Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz pasta of your choice (spaghetti, penne, or fettuccine)
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp capers, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: Extra dill and Parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions

Creating this incredible dish is simple if you follow these steps:

  1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water, then drain the rest.
  1. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and continue to sauté for another 2-3 minutes.
  1. Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well and allow it to simmer for about 5 minutes.
  1. Add Cheeses and Capers: Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Stir in the capers, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  1. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing until well coated in the creamy sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add reserved pasta water 1/4 cup at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
  1. Finish with Fresh Herbs: Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the fresh dill until evenly mixed. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
  1. Serve Immediately: Plate the pasta and top with extra Parmesan cheese and dill if desired.

These straightforward steps will guide you in preparing an amazing Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Capers and Dill that achieves the perfect balance of flavors and textures.
