Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta is a delicious and flavorful pasta dish that combines tender pasta with a creamy sauce and the tangy, chewy texture of sun dried tomatoes. The sun dried tomatoes are then added to the sauce, infusing it with their distinctive flavor and texture. This version is also gluten-free and dairy-free so that those with sensitivities can enjoy!
Ingredients
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 Box Chickpea Pasta
¼ cup White Onion, diced
1 tablespoon Garlic, minced
¼ Cup Sun Dried Tomatoes, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon Parsley, dried
1 teaspoon Oregano, dried
¼ teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
2 cup Chicken Broth
2 tablespoon JOI Cashew Base
-
1 Chicken Breast, cooked & cubed
1 cup Spinach
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan. Start boiling water in a pot for the pasta.
When the water is boiling, cook the pasta according to the package.
To the pan, add diced onions and minced garlic and saute until the onions are translucent.
Add Italian Seasoning, parsley, oregano, and red pepper flakes to the onions and garlic and saute for 2 minutes.
Add sun dried tomatoes, Cashew base, and chicken broth to the pan next. Mix until the cashew base is combined, creating a cream like sauce. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes.
Add the cooked chicken, cooked pasta, and spinach and mix until everything is coated and spinach is wilted.
Serve with a few extra red pepper flakes on top and enjoy!
Recipe Note
- If the sauce is too thick, be sure to add 1 tablespoon of chicken broth at a time until it is the desired consistency.
- Serve over your favorite noodles or veggie noodles.
- This would also be really good paired with spicy sausage instead of chicken.
