Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup sundried tomatoes (preferably packed in oil), sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (or your favorite Halal cheese) Ensure that cheese choices are Halal-certified for compliance.
  • Fresh basil, for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. This makes the cooking process smoother and more enjoyable!
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant—be careful not to let it burn!
  2. Next, toss in the sliced sundried tomatoes, stirring them with the garlic for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing their flavors to marry beautifully.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly to combine. Let this simmer for about 5 minutes or until it thickens slightly.
  4. Add the grated Parmesan cheese to the mixture, stirring until it melts and creates a deliciously creamy sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Serve over your choice of pasta or even grilled chicken. Garnish with fresh basil for a pop of color and flavor!

Notes

If you don’t have heavy cream, try using Greek yogurt for a lighter version or coconut cream for a dairy-free alternative. Always taste and adjust seasoning at the end.
