Many people perceive sun-dried tomatoes as fancy ingredients, typically found on cheese boards or in fancy pizzas. However, we believe they are an absolute gem to have in your pantry as their concentrated flavor and chewy texture can elevate a wide range of dishes.
One great example is this Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta. The sweet, tangy flavor of the tomatoes enhances the richness of the pesto and cream, creating a balanced pasta dish with minimal effort.
Even better, now you can enjoy this dish and help us reduce food waste by adding Murata Sun-Dried Tomatoes to your box from our Farmers Pick Pantry. We rescued these sun-dried tomatoes from being wasted after they were rejected by supermarkets due to confusion around best-before date labeling.

Directions
- Place the Creamy Sauce ingredients in a blender and puree until smooth. Adjust salt to your taste.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. To that add the garlic and onion and allow to cook until translucent and cooked through. Follow by adding your creamy sauce from the blender and turn the heat down allowing the sauce to simmer.
- In the meantime, cook your pasta in a large pot of salted olive oil and boiling water until al dente (just cooked through but still firm). Once cooked, strain the pasta, run it through cold water. Turn down the creamy sauce mixture to low, add your pasta to the creamy sauce and fold the pasta in until it is completely covered in your creamy sauce. Allow it to simmer for 5 min in the sauce.
- Serve as is or optional add your favorite chopped greens from your Farmers Pick box.
