I've made one of my favorite pasta dishes, one I haven't had in quite a while: pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and pine nuts. It's remarkably simple once you procure the pine nuts.
Basically, saute some onion, garlic, and red pepper flakes (option) with a small jar of sun dried tomatoes and half a cup of pine nuts. One the onion and garlic is browned, pour in some white wine. Boil half of that off, then add a can or so of chicken brother. Bring to a boil, then down to a simmer for 7 minutes or so.
Meanwhile, boil up some pasta - spaghetti, rigatoni, or something similar. You're supposed to toss the cooked pasta with the entire pan of sauce, but since I'm a singleton. I jar the sauce and mix proportionally.
The final result fits in a large cappuccino mug. I'm convince now to buy actual pasta bowls - for when plates aren't enough. The tomatoes are meaty, and the nuts are very savory.
