One Pot Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

2 Tbs butter
2 cloves garlic
2 c chicken broth
1.5 c whole milk
8 oz. fettucine
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
12 pieces sun dried tomatoes, chopped into smaller pieces
pepper
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
     Extra yumminess: add crumbled bacon and steamed broccoli


Mince garlic and saute in butter for 1-2 minutes or until it's just soft and fragrant (don't let it brown).  Add chicken broth, milk, fettucine (you might want to break it in half first), tomato, and some pepper.  Make sure pasta is completely submerged below the liquid.  Place a lid on the pasta and allow the liquid to come to a boil.  Once it reaches a boil, give the pasta a quick stir to make sure it isn't sticking to the bottom.  Return lid, turn heat down to low (or just above low), and let it simmer for about 10-12 minutes or until pasta is tender, stirring briefly every 4-5 minutes.

If pasta is still soupy after that, remove lid and let it simmer for 3-5 minutes more.  Then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve.
