1 cup dry penne pasta
3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
2 tablespoons oil (from the sun-dried tomatoes)

Cook pasta according to directions. Closer to the end of the pasta cooking, heat oil in pan and add garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low. Do not brown garlic. Combine sun dried tomatoes, basil, pepper flakes, salt and cheese for about 1 to 2 minutes.

For additional flavour you can add Kalamata olives (pitted) to the pan and sauté with sun dried tomatoe mixture.
