Default Sun Dried Tomatoes & Pasta

Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Pasta


12 ounces pasta (choose a pasta with a little “body” like rigatoni or ziti)
8 oz sun-dried tomatoes packed in olive oil
5 oz pesto (in jar or prepared fresh)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
10 large tomatoes cut in half
1 cup shredded mozzarella



Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Meanwhile, blend the
sun-dried tomatoes and their oil, garlic, salt and pepper, to taste, and basil in a food processor and blend until the tomatoes are finely chopped. Transfer the tomato mixture to a large bowl. Stir in the Parmesan. Add the pasta to the pesto and toss to coat, adding enough reserved cooking liquid to moisten. Season the pasta,
to taste, with salt and pepper and serve. Cut fresh tomatoes in half. Remove seeds and pulp. Fill with pasta mixture. Sprinkle Mozzarella on each one. Run under oven broiler 5-10 minutes until Mozzarella is melted.
These can also be served cold,( minus the Mozzarella)
