Ingredients
Instructions
- Step 1
Cook the pasta according to package directions. Once done, reserve ½ cup of the cooking liquid and then drain the pasta. Set aside.
- Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, make the sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add in the garlic and cook for 3 minutes.
- Step 3
Slowly sprinkle in the flour, whisking it to make a paste. Pour in the broth and continue to whisk until the flour is fully dissolved, about 1 minute.
- Step 4
Mix in the cream, parmesan + mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce thickens.
- Step 5
Stir in the sun dried tomatoes, pasta, and basil. Stir to coat the pasta in the cheese sauce and add additional pasta water to thin out the sauce a bit as needed. I usually end up adding about ¼ cup of additional liquid. Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
- Step 6
Cheese: There are amazing vegan options if you want to swap the cheese for vegan mozzarella and parmesan.
