2 tbs. Olive Oil
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in olive oil
and herbs)
1/2 cup chopped basil
3 tbs. garlic, minced (for garlic lovers-use less if

3 tbs. Parmesan cheese
1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper (to crush finely place in
coffee grinder)
1/8 cup pine nuts
1 tsp. salt
1. Bring 3 quarts water to a boil in Dutch Oven.
2. Add noodles to boiling water. Boil for
approximately 8-10 minutes, until done.
3. Drain noodles. Rinse and toss them gently with
cold water to avoid sticking, set aside in another
bowl.
4. Heat 1 tbs. olive oil at medium to low heat in
Dutch Oven for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes,
basil, garlic, Parmesan, red pepper and pine
nuts, keeping burner temperature just below
medium. You may add a little water if mixture
gets to dry. While constantly stirring, sauté for
approximately 3 minutes.
5. Keeping burner at just below medium, return
cooked noodles to Dutch Oven adding salt and
remaining 1 tbs. of olive oil. Gently mix together
until noodles are warm.
6. Serve hot. Also, delicious when reheated!

bodies own resistance mechanism. It also reduces
