This Sundried Tomato Cream Fettuccine is a vibrant, velvety pasta that’s bursting with flavor. Butter and garlic form the aromatic base, followed by deeply savory sundried tomatoes and a splash of broth. Heavy cream and tomato paste create a luscious pink sauce, while Parmesan and mozzarella add gooey richness. Fresh basil and a final layer of cheese bring the dish together into a cheesy, herbaceous masterpiece.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Sundried Tomato Reconstitution 💧Soak sundried tomatoes in hot water for 10-15 minutes before chopping to restore their softness and intensify their flavor profile.
- Pasta Water Magic 💦Always reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining - its starchy consistency is crucial for creating a silky, emulsified sauce that perfectly coats the fettuccine.
- Layered Cheese Technique 🧀Add Parmesan first for a salty base, then finish with mozzarella for maximum meltability and a luxurious, stretchy texture in the final dish.
- Garlic Infusion Trick 🧄Gently bloom garlic in butter at low heat to prevent burning and release its most complex, nutty aromatics into the sauce.
- Cream Sauce Stability 🥄Incorporate tomato paste before adding cream to stabilize the sauce and prevent potential curdling, ensuring a smooth and consistent texture.
