Dietician Tip

To change up this recipe, use Greek olives and feta cheese in the sauce.

To make this plant based, leave out Parmesan cheese.

Directions

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and garlic over medium heat. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and unsalted vegetable broth. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, 10 to 12 minutes, or according to the package directions. Drain the pasta thoroughly.

Add the olives and parsley to the sun-dried tomato mixture. Stir to mix evenly.

Divide the pasta among individual plates. Top each serving with 1/4 of the sun-dried tomato mixture and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
