Pasta is always a very great option for lunch or dinner. It is a versatile food that can be cooked in different ways and with a wide range of ingredients. Pasta is liked by people across all age groups. It also comes in many shapes.
Today I am cooking Farfalle Pasta, a bow tie-shaped pasta. Usually, Pasta is cooked with fresh tomatoes. However, I'm cooking pasta with Sun-dried Tomatoes (sun-dried tomatoes are loaded with flavors). In addition, the piquillo peppers and garlic further enhance the flavor of the dish.
Sun-dried Tomato Pasta is a quick recipe and takes roughly 15 to 20 minutes to cook. Once you try these pickled tomatoes in your pasta, you will keep using it time and again as Sun-dried tomatoes infused in oil and garlic adds a peculiar taste.
