Total preparation time: 30 minutes
Number of servings: 4
Ingredients:
- 300 g tricolor pasta
- 150 ml Grand Cucina liquid cream
- 150 g grated parmesan (choose a quality parmesan for a more intense flavor)
- 50 g butter
- 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
- 50 g sun-dried tomatoes (sliced)
- Salt and white pepper, to taste
Step 1: Boil the pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. When the water starts to boil, add the tricolor pasta and a tablespoon of olive oil to prevent sticking. Boil the pasta according to the package instructions (about 8-10 minutes), until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and rinse quickly under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
Step 2: Prepare the sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the liquid cream and stir constantly to avoid lumps. Once the cream starts to simmer, add the grated parmesan. Stir until the cheese completely melts and the sauce becomes creamy. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. If you want a more intense flavor, add a few drops of olive oil.
Step 3: Combine the pasta with the sauce
Once the sauce is ready, add the drained pasta to the skillet. Gently toss to coat the pasta with the creamy sauce. Let it cook on low heat for 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
Step 4: Finish the dish
Finally, add the sliced sun-dried tomatoes and gently mix. They will add a touch of acidity and a contrast of textures, making the dish even more delicious.
Serving and final suggestions
Serve the pasta immediately, sprinkled with a little grated parmesan on top and drizzled with a thread of olive oil for an attractive appearance. A garnish of fresh basil would add a wonderful aroma!
Possible variations:
You can also add other ingredients, such as fresh spinach or sautéed mushrooms, to diversify the recipe. Additionally, substitute parmesan with another type of cheese, such as pecorino, for a different taste.
