1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup heavy cream (or a dairy-free alternative)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup pasta water (reserved from cooking the pasta)
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
Optional: grilled chicken or shrimp for added protein
Instructions:
Cook the pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining.
Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
Create a creamy base: Pour in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Combine with pasta: Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat. If needed, add some reserved pasta water to loosen the sauce.
Garnish and serve: Stir in fresh basil and serve immediately. For extra protein, top with grilled chicken or shrimp.
