Creating this One-Pan Sun-Dried Tomato Pasta is as easy as it gets. Just follow these steps:

1. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, stirring until fragrant (about 1 minute).

2. Add the Pasta and Broth: Pour in the broth and add the pasta. Stir well to ensure the pasta is submerged. Bring it to a simmer.

3. Incorporate Sun-Dried Tomatoes: After the pasta simmers for about 10 minutes, add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Continue to cook until the pasta is al dente and the liquid is mostly absorbed (about 5-7 more minutes).

4. Pour in the Cream: Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Mix thoroughly, letting it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

5. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil and sprinkle Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!

This simple five-step process yields a dish that is not only soothing but also bursting with flavor!
