Creating this incredible dish is a straightforward process. Follow these steps for perfect results:
- Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving about 1 cup of pasta water.
- Prepare the Sauce Base: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Capers: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and capers. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to warm them through.
- Create the Creamy Mixture: Pour in the heavy cream and vegetable broth. Stir to combine and simmer for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Incorporate the Cheese: Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce. Stir continuously until the cheese melts and creates a creamy sauce.
- Mix Pasta into Sauce: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss well to coat the pasta in the creamy mixture. If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water a little at a time until it reaches your desired consistency.
- Finish with Dill: Season with salt, pepper, and fresh dill. Toss again to distribute evenly. If desired, sprinkle crushed red pepper flakes for added heat.
