Cooking Tips

• Make sure to cook the pasta until al dente, as it will continue to cook slightly when tossed with the sauce.
• If the sun-dried tomatoes are too dry, you can soak them in warm water for a few minutes before using.
• Feel free to add some grated Parmesan cheese on top for extra flavor.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the pasta in a skillet with a splash of water or olive oil to prevent it from drying out.
• This dish is best served fresh, but you can also enjoy it cold as a pasta salad.
