Equipment

  • large pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • cup sundried tomatoes, chopped optional
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
  • 3 cups chicken stock or water
  • 1 (15-oz) can diced tomatoes, undrained
  • 1 (12-oz) box short pasta shapes spirals or bow ties work great
  • to taste salt & pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ¼ cup cream cheese OR ricotta, mascarpone use more for extra creaminess
  • chopped flat leaf parsley optional

Instructions
 

Sauté

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Sauté the onion, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes until starting to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the tomato paste and Italian seasoning and cook for 1 more minute.

Add liquids and pasta

  • Pour the chicken stock into the pan, scraping any browned bits off the bottom of the pot. Add the can of diced tomatoes and pasta and season to taste.

Cook the pasta

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until pasta is done, about 10-15 minutes. If the pasta starts looking dry and there doesn't seem to be enough liquid, add a little extra broth during the cooking process.

Add cheeses

  • Take the pasta off the heat and stir in the Parmesan and cream cheese. Add parsley if you like. Let the pasta sit and thicken for 3-4 minutes before serving immediately.
