Notes
This sundried tomato and pasta recipe is the next version of my Pasta with Green Beans series of recipes. Pasta is versatile, so I recommend adding whichever vegetables you like to this dish. I would try spinach, zucchini, chard, asparagus, peas, carrots, or Brussels sprouts.
For an even more filling dish, add some grilled chicken, pork, or shrimp to this dish. Grill or bake up the meat separately and mix it into the recipe when you add the pasta.
I kept the seasoning to a minimum in this recipe to highlight the flavors of the fresh vegetables. However, add whichever herbs and spices you like to make this recipe yours.
