Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your incredible Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta with Capers and Dill:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook your pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté Aromatics: In the same pot, add olive oil over medium heat. Once heated, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

3. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Capers: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and capers. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

4. Pour in Cream & Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

5. Season the Sauce: Add the dried or fresh dill, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper to taste. Let the mixture simmer for another 3-4 minutes until thickened slightly.

6. Combine Pasta with Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the pot. Toss until the pasta is coated evenly with the creamy sauce.

7. Adjust Consistency: If the pasta seems too dry, add a splash of reserved pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

8. Serve: Once combined, it’s time to serve! Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil if desired.

9. Enjoy: Serve hot and enjoy your rich and flavorful meal!
