Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 oz Fettuccine pasta
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Red pepper flakes
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 4 quarts Water
- 2 tbsp Kosher salt (for pasta water)
Instructions
Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot. Add 2 tablespoons of kosher salt to the water, then cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
Add the cherry tomatoes to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften and release their juices.
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes, then add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, grated Parmesan cheese, and half of the fresh basil. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of red pepper flakes. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Toss the cooked fettuccine in the skillet with the sauce, adding reserved pasta water a few tablespoons at a time until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
Plate the fettuccine and garnish with the remaining fresh basil. Optionally, sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Fettuccine a La Ferrari!
