Sun Dried Tomato Pasta Recipe

A copycat version of Cheesecake Factory's Sun-Dried Tomato Fettuccine recipe. This flavorful and creamy dish is filled with chunks of chicken, garlic, whipping cream, spinach and sweet sun-dried tomatoes. It's not only delicious but is a great way to change up the classic fettuccine recipe.

Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 lb fettuccine dried
  • 2-3 chicken breast cooked and cubed
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 5 tsp garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes sliced, halves
  • 14.5 oz diced tomatoes drained, petite, canned
  • 3 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1/2 tbsp sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 1/2 cups baby spinach
  • 2 tsp garlic salt with parsley flakes
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste
  • red pepper flakes optional, crushed

Instructions

  1. Bring water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 TB of olive oil then add your fettuccine. Cook according to package direction, drain (reserving 1 cup of the pasta water) and set aside.
  2. Combine most of the whipping cream and sour cream in a small bowl, mix and set aside.
  3. As your pasta is cooking, add the remaining 3 TB of olive oil to a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Turn heat to medium low and gently add your tomatoes, tomato paste, and sugar. Stir until combined.
  4. Slowly add in the cream and sour cream mixture, while whisking quickly, to get it all incorporated. After combined, bring heat up to medium high and let it simmer and thicken for about 5-7 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add in the baby spinach. Once spinach has wilted, add in the cooked pasta and turn off the heat.
  6. Toss with cooked chicken. Slowly add a little of the reserved heavy whipping cream if mixture seems too thick. Add garlic salt and Italian seasoning.
  7. Top with crushed red pepper flakes. Serve hot.
