Pasta with Dried Tomatoes

Cook the pasta in boiling salt water until al dente. Rinse and shake the basil dry. Pluck the basil leaves from the stalks and cut into fine strips.

Drain the tomatoes, making certain to catch the oil. Cut the tomatoes into thin strips. Peel and chop the shallots and garlic. Sweat the shallots and garlic in a hot pan with 2 tablespoons of tomato oil. Add the tomatoes and saute briefly. Remove from the heat.

Heat the wine, cream and 60 grams (approximately 1/4 cup) of parmesan in a saucepan. Season with salt and pepper and allow to thicken.
