Ingredients

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

1 tablespoon dried basil (fresh basil will be much better in spring)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Cook pasta according to directions. Closer to the end of the pasta cooking, heat oil in pan and add garlic. Saute 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.
Pour oil mixture over pasta and mix. Serve with additional shredded Asiago cheese on top.
For additional flavour you can add Kalamata olives (pitted) to the pan and saute with sun dried tomatoe mixture.
