Spaghetti with Sun Dried Tomatoes

Lovely Meal

This is a great quick meal to make. I make my own sun dried tomatoes, which are incredibly easy to do, but you can get them in any big supermarket.

SERVES 2

Preparation Time:  5 Minutes 
Cooking Time: 15 Minutes

 

Spaghetti Salt & Pepper
10-15 sun dried tomato slices 1 clove garlic, chopped
1/2 onion, chopped Bunch of fresh basil, chopped

 

Cook the spaghetti according the instructions - usually about 10 minutes - until al dente (there's nothing worse than mushy overcooked pasta).

In a separate small pan, heat some olive oil (from the container that the tomatoes have been in, for best flavour). Gently fry the onions and garlic until soft - don't let the garlic brown otherwise it will taste bitter. Add the sun dried tomato slices, a pinch of sugar and the chopped fresh basil.

Add this mixture to the cooked spaghetti and stir through, making sure the pasta is well coated - add more olive oil if necessary.
