  3. Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta Heaven on earth! Found this viral banger and HAD to make it! And it was sooo easy- took me 20 minutes! Comment PASTA and I’ll send you my favorite kitchen goods to make this. Ingredients: • 16 oz Spaghetti • 4 tbsp butter • 4 cloves garlic, minced • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced, oil-packed and drained • 2 cups chicken broth • 8 oz cream cheese, softened and cubed • 1 ½ cups milk • 1 tsp dried basil • ½ tsp freshly cracked black pepper • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan Optional: • ½ tsp red pepper flakes • Fresh basil for garnish Instructions: 1. Salt your water aggressively. Cook linguine to al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water before draining. 2. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds until fragrant, not brown. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and let them bloom in the butter for 1 to 2 minutes. 3. Pour in chicken broth and milk. Bring to a gentle simmer. Add cream cheese cubes and whisk until fully melted and smooth. 4. Add dried basil and black pepper. Let simmer 3 to 5 minutes until slightly thickened. 5. Add drained pasta directly into the skillet. Toss well. Stir in parmesan until melted and glossy. If it’s too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta water until silky and creamy. 6. Taste and adjust salt. Garnish with fresh basil and extra parm.
