Ingredients
8 ounces mushrooms sliced
2 tbsp olive oil
3.5 ounces sun-dried tomatoes diced
3 garlic cloves minced
½ c. Parmesan cheese shredded
½ c. half and half
2 c. water
2 chicken bouillon cubes (use Vegetarian “Chicken” Bouillon for vegetarian version)
½ c. heavy cream
½ pound fettuccine pasta
1 tbsp dried basil or up to 2 tbsp minced fresh basil
How to make Sun-dried tomato and mushroom pasta in a garlic and basil sauce
Step 1: Add the sliced mushrooms and garlic to the hot oil and cook over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes, then, add the diced sun-dried tomatoes and decrease the heat.
Step 2: In 2 cups of boiling water, dissolve 2 cubs of chicken bouillon. To the skillet, carefully pour in the broth and continue to cook over medium heat until the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes absorb some of the broth and the broth somewhat reduces. Then, add the half-and-half along with the heavy cream. Bring everything to a boil for a few seconds before adding in the Parmesan cheese. Cook further over low-medium heat until the cheese has melted, stirring. Finally, add the basil.
Step 3: You can add half a cup of half-and-half if the sauce turned out too thick.
Step 4: Following the package directions, cook the fettuccine until al dente. When done, drain and rinse under cold water.
Step 5: Into the sauce, add the fettuccine, and continue to cook over medium heat for a few minutes more, stirring to coat the pasta well with the sauce.
Note:
If needed, add salt at the very end. The creamy sauce might already be too salty from the chicken cubes.
