SUN-DRIED TOMATOES AND BASIL

If you’re anything like us, you love creamy pastas! Whenever pasta has a creamy, cheesy sauce, it tastes extra special and fancy. That’s why we consider this low-carb sun-dried tomato pasta recipe a slam dunk for a date night meal.

Here’s the secret (that you don’t have to share with your date)—this dish is super easy to make! It comes together fast with very little preparation and effort. Even more importantly, this dish may taste indulgent, but it’s low-carb and keto-friendly!

Maybe it's the delicate pink color of the sauce, but this super easy pasta dish feels extra romantic. We suggest you light a few candles and put out a tablecloth and fancy dishes. Pour a glass of wine. Hey, even if you're single, this is a great self-care recipe, too.

Part of self-care means staying healthy. Whether you’re watching your health for yourself or for those you love, It’s Skinny can help you find balance in a healthy diet. No one likes deprivation. Cutting out all your favorite dishes is a surefire way to run off the rails fast.

Fortunately, with this yummy, low-carb, creamy pasta recipe, there's no deprivation to be found. You will feel full, satisfied (not stuffed), and proud of your fabulous cooking skills.

If you haven't worked with sundried tomatoes before, don't worry—they are a very forgiving ingredient. As tomatoes dry, the flavors become extra concentrated and rich. They add a deep, hearty tang to the sauce that can't be beat. Sun-dried tomatoes are high in vitamin C. They're often more flavorful than fresh tomatoes.

Basil has a herbal, slightly licorice-like taste that is unmistakably Italian. It's worth going out for the real deal when using basil, especially in a pasta dish. Dried basil or Italian seasoning just won't have the same oomph or fresh taste.

The cream is great for adding a dose of healthy fats to the flavorful sauce. You could use a little sour cream or even cream cheese, but we prefer whole cream for the creamiest sun-dried tomato pasta.

IT’S SKINNY IS FAST AND DELICIOUS

One of the best parts of this dish is that it’s quick to make, thanks to It’s Skinny. You can enjoy an elegant restaurant-style meal in minutes, not hours. We know that if it’s a date night (or busy weeknights), no one wants to spend forever over a hot stove.

It's Skinny couldn't be easier to use—just follow package instructions. Open the pack, drain, and set aside. Cook your other ingredients and add the noodles at the end for a couple of minutes. The pasta cooks fast. Once they heat through, they're ready to enjoy. There's no need to boil water or worry about getting noodles to that perfect al dente texture. It’s Skinny is ready to enjoy!

If you’re looking for a meal-time game changer, It’s Skinny can help you remake any pasta or rice recipe with a low-carb pasta swap you'll love. Unlike zucchini noodles, cauliflower rice, spaghetti squash, and other pasta swaps, It’s Skinny won’t overpower your dish or make it taste like a vegetable (no offense to vegetables).

But here’s the secret—It’s Skinny is made from a vegetable! It’s just one that you might not have heard of: konjac root. Konjac root is similar to a turnip or a radish. It's fibrous and high in a unique, filling type of fiber called glucomannan. It also happens to make really amazing noodles!

You can order It’s Skinny in traditional or organic styles. All of our styles come in both options. Choose from:

• Spaghetti
• Angel Hair
• Fettuccine
• Rice

Or get the best of all worlds with a variety pack. No matter what you choose, you can feel good about It’s Skinny. It’s low-carb, kosher, vegan, gluten-free, and perfect for all sorts of diets and lifestyles. It’s great for those on keto, paleo, Whole30, intermittent fasting, and Weight Watchers.

If you’re looking for a simple way to make healthy changes, start with low carb pasta. It’s Skinny can lighten up your meals with stats like zero net carbs and only 9 calories per pack. The best part about It’s Skinny, though, is that it doesn’t taste like deprivation.

We know that if you’re cutting carbs, it’s easy to get FOMO when you see a delicious dish of pasta or a yummy plate of fried rice. But It’s Skinny lets you eat what you want, remaking all your favorite recipes your way—low-carb and delicious. It's Skinny is keto pasta at its best.

MAKE SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA YOUR WAY

Wondering how to customize this delicious creamy sun-dried tomato pasta recipe? We’ve got you covered with these ideas for customization. This recipe is super delicious as-is, but you can always jazz it up with a few additions and changes.

CAN I ADD PROTEIN TO THIS PASTA?

We encourage any added protein to almost any of our recipes to make them extra filling and sustaining. This sun-dried tomato pasta is SO GOOD with chicken. Just chop up a chick breast or chicken thighs and saute before adding the other ingredients. You could throw in leftover chicken or some rotisserie chicken, too.

As for other protein ideas, this recipe is great with turkey or beef meatballs. Brown them and add them to the sauce. No meatballs? Consider some Italian sausage. You could also try this recipe with shrimp, salmon, or even lobster. This is a yummy creamy sauce that goes well with all kinds of other ingredients.

WHICH VEGETABLES GO WITH CREAMY SUN-DRIED TOMATO PASTA?

Are you hoping to bulk up your vegetable intake? This yummy pasta is the perfect place to add your favorite vegetables. The creamy, sun-dried tomato sauce goes with everything. You could try spinach, kale, or another leafy green. This pasta also pairs very well with a green salad.

We suggest adding some broccoli to this pasta or chopped asparagus when in season. Broccolini, cauliflower, and even sauteed zucchini are delicious with this pasta. Consider adding in a few mushrooms too.

DOES THIS RECIPE GO WITH ANY HERBS BESIDES BASIL?

Basil is really delicious in this sundried tomato pasta recipe, but you could add any fresh herbs you like. Oregano would be nice here; parsley or thyme go quite well with the other flavors. We love to add Italian flatleaf parsley to any recipe with Italian flair.

You can increase the heat in this recipe with additional garlic, onion, and, of course, some red pepper flakes. All go exceptionally well in this dish. We love the addition that a little bit of lemon brings to this pasta. Use black pepper and sea salt as preferred in this yummy meal.
