Marry Me Pasta

Ingredients

• Kosher salt

• 1 lb. rigatoni

• 1 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil

• 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped

• 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves

• 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes

• 1/2 c. chopped sun-dried tomatoes

• 3/4 c. heavy cream

• 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth • 1/2 c. finely grated Parmesan, plus more for serving

• Freshly ground black pepper

• Torn fresh basil, for serving (optional) Directions

1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta, stirring occasionally, until al dente according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water, then drain.

2. Meanwhile, in a large, high-sided skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Add garlic, thyme, and red pepper and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add tomatoes, then slowly pour in cream and broth. Bring to a simmer. Add Parmesan and cook, stirring, until cheese is melted and sauce is starting to thicken, about 5 minutes; season with salt and black pepper. 3. Add pasta and 1/4 cup reserved pasta water and stir to coat. Cook, stirring frequently and adding more pasta water as needed, until sauce is glossy and fully coats pasta, about 2 minutes more.

4. Divide pasta among bowls. Top with Parmesan and basil. #MarryMePasta #pasta #fyp #foodie #homecooking #homecooked #cooking #cook #dinner
