Ingredients

4 tablespoons dried basil
1 tablespoon minced pine nuts
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes
⅛ cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon salt
1 (16 ounce) package bow tie pasta

Directions

Combine basil, pine nuts, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small bowl; set pesto aside.
Blanch sun-dried tomatoes for 30 seconds in boiling water. Drain well and slice into small pieces.
Heat 1/8 cup olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add garlic and sauté until golden brown. Stir in mushrooms and sauté until tender. Add prepared pesto, sun-dried tomatoes, cayenne pepper, and salt; reduce heat to low and simmer sauce.
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook bow-tie pasta at a boil, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain well. Toss pasta and sauce together until well coated.

Tips

Instead of making your own pesto, you can use 1/2 bottle of pre-made pesto from the grocery store.
