However, it’s given me a greater appreciation for my family and the people that truly care. So often we focus on everything around us, most of it so insignificant, when everything we need is right here beside us. I do miss my parents and in-laws, knowing that we may not visit them for a while makes it that much harder. It is normally during this time that we go on holiday to Durban so we can spend time with our parents. One thing I have learnt amongst all the chaos is never to take things for granted. Hope you all keep safe my friends and appreciate your loved ones. Today I made this divine, Creamy Sundried Tomato Spinach Pasta. Not something I make often because hubby and I love the flavor of sundried tomatoes, my kids not so much. However, I didn’t tell my little one it has sundried tomatoes so let’s see how that goes down.
Great for Vegetarians too
Although I did add chicken into the pasta for my boys, this Creamy Sundried Tomato Spinach Pasta is great for vegetarians and pescatarians too. For once my life becomes easy because my hubby can have some without the chicken and the boys can have chicken added to theirs. Usually I have to cook 2 different meals and life becomes a mission.
Making the Sauce
When I cooked this pasta before, I chopped up my sundried tomatoes and added it to the sauce. I do like the chunks of tomatoes in my sauce, to be honest. However, I saw Nagi from Recipe Tin Eats blend her tomatoes and thought I will give that a try. It is easier because usually I do the whole process of cooking the sauce. I blended some of my sundried tomatoes with the milk and cream for the sauce and I chopped up some. Although I do like the tomatoes blended I also love that burst of flavor in my pasta. However, you can do it either way and it will still taste great.
Adding the Chicken
I marinated my chicken with some garlic powder, Italian seasoning and salt. Fried it in some oil, I then chopped it up and added it to the pasta so that I could keep some of it vegetarian. You can add your chicken to the sauce before mixing it all together if you don’t have a family following a million different diets.
I hope you enjoy this pasta as much as I love it. Please drop me a comment and leave a star rating if you do, I always love hearing from you and appreciate your feedback. More pasta recipes to try: Creamy Pesto Pasta Lamb Pasta Bake Spicy Chicken Pasta If you loved this, please share!
