Sun Dried Tomatoes Pasta Recipe

Whole Grain Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Goat’s Cheese

Makes 4 Servings

Ingredients:
6 oz whole grain pasta (spaghetti, soba, etc.)
16 sun-dried tomato halves (not packed in oil)
1 ½ cups fresh basil leaves
4 tsp pine nuts
1 tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper
2 oz goat’s cheese, crumbled

Instructions:
Place the sun-dried tomato halves in a dish with warm water, cover, and allow to soften (about ¼ hr). Drain and chop roughly.

In the meantime, puree the basil leaves, pine nuts, oil and garlic in a blender and season with salt and pepper.

Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and place in a large serving dish. Add the pesto, chopped tomatoes and goat’s cheese and toss gently.

Serve immediately!

This sounds so good!  I would probably use Soba noodles instead of spaghetti if I were to make it.
