Bow Tie Pasta with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce

Ingredients

Olive Oil

3 Cloves Garlic

1/4 tsp. Crushed Red Pepper Flakes

1/3 C Sun Dried Tomatoes, drained and chopped

1/2 C Chopped Jarred Roasted Red Peppers

1 Can Diced Tomatoes

1 tsp. Sugar

Salt and Pepper to taste

1/2 C Fresh Basil Leaves Chopped

1 Box Bow Tie Pasta

Optional

Shaved Parmesan Cheese 

Chopped Roasted Chicken 

Heat Oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Stir in garlic, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomatoes, and roasted red peppers and cook until you can smell the garlic- a couple minutes.  Add the can of tomatoes, sugar, and salt and pepper.  Bring to a boil and then reduce to simmer.  Allow to cook and thicken for about 10 minutes. Add basil leaves and chopped chicken (I like to use a store roasted chicken, easy and delicious in this) if you like.  Pour over cooked and prepared Bow Tie Pasta.  Add Parmesan cheese on top if desired.
