For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic to the skillet with the sun-dried tomatoes. If you prefer a lighter sauce, substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream. A sprinkle of red pepper flakes can add a touch of heat to this dish. Freshly grated nutmeg is wonderful in creamy sauces like this one. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs before serving for a beautiful presentation.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
8 mins
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a vigorous boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water, and return the pasta to the pot.
02
Step
3 mins
While the pasta cooks, sauté the sun-dried tomatoes in a large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. This will release their oils and intensify their flavor.
03
Step
5 mins
Stir in the sour cream, ricotta cheese, and Parmesan cheese into the skillet. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.
04
Step
1 mins
Gently fold in the chopped fresh parsley and basil into the sauce. Their vibrant aroma will elevate the dish.
05
Step
1 mins
Add the drained tagliatelle to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. Serve immediately.
