Ingredients

  • 12 oz penne pasta (or any pasta of your choice)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh basil

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1 cup of pasta water.
  2. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Whisk in the flour and cook until lightly golden.
  5. Pour in white wine (or broth) and stir until combined.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, oregano, and red pepper flakes.
  7. Cook until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then stir in the fresh basil.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat. Add reserved pasta water as needed to thin the sauce.
  10. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use gluten-free pasta and thickener for a gluten-free version.
  • Replace white wine with broth for an alcohol-free alternative.
  • Add spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes for extra veggies.
  • Soak dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes in hot water if not packed in oil.
  • Stir sauce constantly and keep heat at medium to avoid curdling the cream.
