Pasta in Southwestern Sauce image

From a very old Vegetarian Times magazine. I don't know how "southwestern" sun-dried tomatoes really are...regardless, this is a good, easy sauce for pasta.

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 cup dry sherry
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
1/4 cup shallot, minced
4 sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, drained and coarsley chopped
2 tablespoons pickled jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
2 large tomatoes, seeded and coarsley chopped
1/2 lb fresh pasta
2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Heat the sherry and oil in a heavy skillet over med-high until it boils.
  • Saute the garlic and shallots for 3 minutes, stirring.
  • Add the both types of tomatoes and the jalapenos.
  • Reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  • While sauce simmers, prepare the pasta (fresh pasta should only need to boil for 5 minutes or less). Stir the fresh pasta occasionally, as it can get pretty sticky.
  • Drain the pasta, rinse briefly with hot water, and drain again.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet with the sauce, then sprinkle in the fresh herbs.
  • Toss pasta and sauce together, then serve immediately.
