Pasta With Sun

Remember the fact that sun-dried tomato cream sauce I made now not too long ago? the one I desired to guzzle down? nicely, I just needed to make it once more, except this time I become an epic pasta dish.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces penne
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 smoked andouille sausage links, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves

For The Cream Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/3 cup julienned sun dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan

• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more, to taste

Instructions

1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well.
2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage, and cook, stirring frequently, until sausage is lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes; set aside.
3. To make the cream sauce, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in chicken broth and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Stir in heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, Parmesan, oregano, basil and red pepper flakes until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
5. Stir in pasta and sausage until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired.
