¡Manos a la Obra! – Let’s Get Cooking!

  1. Prep the stars: Chop the sun-dried tomatoes into bite-sized pieces to release their maximum flavor.
  2. Aromatics first: Heat up a deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the butter and a swirl of reserved sun-dried tomato oil. Once the butter melts, toss in the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about a minute). ¡No te quemes! (Be careful not to burn it!)
  3. One-pot wonder: Add the fettuccine (breaking it in half if needed for a better fit), chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, a good dose of freshly cracked pepper, and the chicken broth. Give it a quick stir to submerge the pasta.
  4. Simmer and savor: Cover the skillet, crank the heat up to high, and bring the broth to a boil. Once it boils, give the pasta another good stir, replace the lid, and reduce the heat to low, so it maintains a gentle simmer. Let the pasta cook like this for 7-10 minutes, or until tender and most of the broth is absorbed. Stir every few minutes to prevent sticking.
  5. Creamy dream: Keeping the heat on low, cut the cream cheese into chunks and add it to the pasta. Stir until it melts completely. Now, gradually incorporate the milk, stirring constantly until you achieve a smooth, velvety sauce. Finally, sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the top, stirring until it melts into the sauce. ¡Ya casi está! (It’s almost ready!)

Sirve y Disfruta – Serve and Enjoy!

Serve your pasta immediately with an extra sprinkle of freshly cracked pepper if you like. ¡Buen provecho! (Enjoy!)

Consejos y Variaciones – Tips and Variations

  • Protein boost: Add cooked chicken, shrimp, or Italian sausage during the simmering process for a heartier meal.
  • Vegan twist: Use veggie broth, nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan, and plant-based cream and cream cheese for a delicious plant-based version.
  • ¡Dale fuego! (Spice it up!) Adjust the amount of freshly cracked pepper to your preferred heat level.

Remember, this recipe is just a starting point – feel free to experiment with different proteins, spice levels, or cheeses. The beauty of one-pot pasta dishes is their adaptability. Now, who’s ready to ditch the dish duty and become a one-pot pasta master? ¡A cocinar! (Let’s get cooking!)
