Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces pasta penne or fusilli
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped (packed in oil)
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 cup coconut milk canned
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese optional

Method
 

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  4. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for about 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly.
  5. Add the coconut milk, dried basil, and dried oregano. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable broth to reach your desired consistency.
  7. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
  8. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
