Recipe: Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomatoes

2 tbsp. (or more) olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp. basil
2 tbsp. diced sun-dried tomatoes (if dry, reconstitute)
1/4 c. chopped yellow onion
Freshly ground pepper
Pasta, freshly cooked (linguine, angel hair, etc.)



Heat oil in saucepan, add onion and saute until translucent. Add garlic, basil, tomato. Add more olive oil, if desired. Add pepper. Toss with cooked pasta. Salt to taste.

NOTE: Here's where I differed from this basic recipe.  I sauted the onions, garlic, basil and tomato, then added the spinach (1-2 cups) on med-lo heat.  I did a quick toss, then covered the pan for 1 minute.  After the minute, stirred the mix, and re-covered for another minute.  After that, added the pasta directly into the pan, drizzled a quick coating of EVOO, then did yet another toss (MINUS the heat) and served. :)  At this point, you could also add chili pepper flakes to your taste. :)  Enjoy!!  (oh, and I put WAY more garlic than that and added Italian Seasoning while sauting the veggies)

Depending on your type of Daniel Fast, if needed, take out the pasta and add abt 1 lb of spinach to your mix with another garlic clove or 2.  And of course, increase your veggie amount. :)
