- 1-1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4-1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 4 tablespoons flour I used a gluten-free blend with great results

- 2/3 cup freshly-grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt or more to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves torn
- fresh parsley finely chopped
- freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- Using a large skillet, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- Return skillet to medium heat and drizzle pan with olive oil.
- Add the garlic and saute for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally until garlic is fragrant. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
- Whisk in the flour and stir to combine, cooking the flour for about 2 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in the chicken broth followed by the milk, bringing to a low boil, stirring constantly.
- Add more milk if the mixture is too thick or as needed.

I don’t know when was the last time I had ravioli, but I really want some right now! I had sauerkraut pierogies in creamy alfredo sauce few weeks ago – and it makes me think of your dish, ahhh I need some right now! I’ve been having Peruvian food lately that week – mostly Lomo Saltado “stir-fry potato/tomatoes/onions/gluten in soy sauce!” I love pasta with creamy & cheezy alfredo sauces – it’s so good! I like the idea of adding sun-dried tomatoes, yummmm, I wanna try that sometimes! I hope you are having an amazing weekend, Kelly! Oh, I wanted to add that I’m heading to Hong Kong next month – got any favorite spots to visit? It’s my first time to visit!

I LOVEEEEE creamy white sauce pastas but just like you mentioned, having them regularly makes me want to think twice, thrice..okay a million times since I easily put on weight at the sniff of creamy foods! This is just such a welcome change to the weight issues! I’m sooooo excited after reading this post! I can’t wait to try this for lunch tomorrow! 🙂

What a brilliant idea to lighten up this Alfredo Sauce! It looks every bit as creamy and delish as the real deal – I bet it pairs wonderfully with ravioli. This dish looks absolutely comforting and would be perfect for this cooler weather!
Hope you have a fantastic weekend! xxx
