This flavorful vegetarian pasta recipe features sun-dried tomatoes, broccoli, goat cheese and garlicky olive oil. It's easy to make and delicious!
This sun-dried tomato pasta is one of my all-time favorite recipes! This vegetarian pasta offers layers of flavor, including sun-dried tomatoes, sautéed broccoli, goat cheese, and Parmesan, all nestled together with tender bow-tie noodles. Garlic-infused olive oil and reserved pasta cooking water bring it all together beautifully. It all comes together easily enough for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients:
- ½ pound dried whole wheat bow-tie or spiral-shaped pasta
- 5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided, plus more if necessary
- 1 tablespoon pressed or minced fresh garlic (about 5 to 6 garlic cloves)
- Optional, for spice: ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 ½ pounds broccoli (about 4 medium, tightly packed crowns), chopped into small, bite-sized pieces
- Fine salt or kosher salt
- ½ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
- 2 to 3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled while still cold (around ½ cup)
- ⅓ cup coarsely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Parmesan cheese
- ½ small lemon, juiced (1 to 2 tablespoons lemon juice)
- Optional add-ins: 15 pitted Kalamata olives, chopped, 1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed, and/or a couple handfuls of baby arugula (great with leftovers)
