Method
- Combine the sun-dried tomatoes with 1/2 cup hot water in a small bowl and soak for 3 to 5 minutes (or until tomatoes are soft and pliable). Drain the tomatoes, but reserve the liquid.
- Combine the tomatoes, basil, oil, cheese, oregano and garlic in a food processor or blender. Process, adding enough reserved liquid, until the mixture is a medium/thick “saucy” consistency.
- Spoon over the pasta and toss to coat; serve immediately (I usually add mine back into the pot the the pasta was cooked in and mix together that way to warm it through a little.)
- Sprinkle with a little additional parmesan and garnish with a fresh basil leaf, if desired.
