GARLIC HERB & TOMATO PASTA


So easy and delicious!

INGREDIENTS:

Sarah Beth's Homemade Dips Garlic Herb Cheese Spread Mix

1/2 to 1 full box spaghetti rigati (I used Barilla brand.) Less pasta = Creamier

8 oz. brick of cream cheese

grape tomatoes

1 T crushed red pepper flakes 

coarse ground salt (I used Kosher.)

olive oil

minced garlic (if desired)

fresh, grated Parmesan cheese


DIRECTIONS:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Prepare SBHD Garlic Herb Cheese Spread according to package directions.
  3. Coat baking dish with a thin coating of olive oil.
  4. Place prepared cheese spread in center of baking dish.
  5. Surround cheese spread with grape tomatoes. 
  6. Sprinkle grape tomatoes with coarse ground salt and minced garlic (if desired).
  7. Sprinkle cheese spread with 1 T crushed red pepper flakes. Drizzle olive over entire dish.  
  8. Bake for 20 minutes, or until tomatoes have shriveled/popped.
  9. Prepare pasta according to package directions. DO NOT DRAIN.
  10. Using tongs, transfer pasta to a large bowl. Allow pasta to drip a bit before transferring.  The pasta water will make for even more deliciousness. 
  11. Pour baked mixture on top of pasta and use tongs to mix thoroughly. 
  12. Place on plates to serve. Top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese. Enjoy
