Penne Pasta with Sun-dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Life is Richer with CARNATION®

Level: Easy

Mac & Cheese is a standard favorite, but we have mixed it up with this sauce recipe. We’ve made traditional cheese sauce with Carnation Low Fat 2% Evaporated Milk and changed-up the cheese and pasta while adding sun-dried tomatoes for a luscious Mac & Cheese inspired dish.

Prep: 10 min

Cooking: 15 min

Yields: 7 servings (1/2 cup each)

Ingredients

2 cups (8 oz.) dry penne pasta
8 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (about 1/3 cup)
1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Lowfat 2% Milk
2 cups (8-oz. pkg.) shredded Italian-style four-cheese blend
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

creamy tasty

After reading previous reviews I only used 1/2 a can of evaporated milk & 1/2 can drained diced tomatoes instead of sun dried. It was delicious & there weren't any leftovers in my house..

Good

I made this a couple nights ago - I guess I don't like sun-dried tomatoes. Will try it again and play around with it....

Beyond Mac N Cheese

This is so not your grandma's mac n cheese! This is beyond delicious.....so creamy, so full of flavor. The only that I changed was to add grilled chicken to make this a one dish meal. My company was amazed and said they felt like they were in a fancy Italian restaurant. Don't buy bottled Alfredo sauce - this is quick, easy and tastes MUCH better!.
