Sundried Tomato Pasta and Kale
- Number of Servings: 6
Ingredients
½ cup sun dried tomatoes 2 Tbsp butter4 cloves garlic, minced (or dried)16 oz bowtie pasta1 tsp dried basil1/4 tsp black pepper5 cups chicken broth2 cups chopped kale4 oz. light cream cheese1 cup whole milk 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Chop the sun dried tomatoes into small bite-sized pieces.
Add the butter, garlic, pasta, sun dried tomatoes, dried basil, some freshly cracked pepper, and the chicken broth to the skillet. Make sure the pasta is submerged in broth.
Place a lid on the skillet, turn the heat up to high, and bring the broth to a boil. As soon as it reaches a boil, give the pasta a good stir, replace the lid, and turn the heat down to low or the lowest setting that maintains a simmer.
Let the pasta simmer in the broth for 10-15 minutes, or until most of the broth is absorbed and the pasta is tender, stirring every couple of minutes and always replacing the lid. When pasta is mostly done add the kale and stir until wilted.
Keeping the heat on low, cut the cream cheese into chunks and stir it into the pasta. Once the cream cheese has melted, add the milk and stir until a smooth sauce forms. Finally, add the grated Parmesan over top and stir until it has melted into the sauce.
