Equipment
- Large pan
- Medium-sized pot
- Can Opener
- Sharp Knife
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Linguine
- ⅓ cup Sundried tomatoes drained, diced
- 2 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon Reserved tomato oil OR olive oil
- ½ 15 oz can Coconut Milk full-fat
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- ⅓ cup Reserved pasta water as needed
Instructions
- Begin by bringing salted water to a boil and cooking your pasta according to box instructions. When done, drain and reserve about ⅓ cup of pasta water.
- Scoop out ⅓ cup of the sun-dried tomatoes, drain the oil, but save it for later.
- Roughly dice the tomatoes.
- Mince 2 or more cloves of garlic.
- In a pan over medium heat, heat up 1 tablespoon of the reserved tomato oil, or use olive oil.
- To the oil, add the chopped tomatoes and sauté lightly.
- As the tomatoes begin to cook, add the minced garlic and stir to combine. Cook until garlic is lightly golden, but not burned or crispy.
- Add ½ of the canned coconut milk to the sauce and stir.
- Bring this to a very gentle simmer, stirring constantly to prevent burning.
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and combine thoroughly.
- Stir in the reserved pasta water as needed to create a silky smooth sauce.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
- Serve hot and garnish with fresh herbs!
Notes
- To make this recipe completely gluten-free, use a high quality GF pasta! I love using Banza or Jovial pastas!
- Be sure to use canned coconut milk, which is usually found in the Asian or international section of a grocery store. Using the coconut milk that comes in a carton or bottle will not work.
- Feel free to add or adjust seasonings as you please. I think that a heavy amount of salt really enhances this dish, but you could also add lots of pepper, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, and more!
