Angel Hair Pasta with Sundried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

Angel Hair with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Goat Cheese

1 (10 ounce) jar sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil, chopped (oil reserved)…I find it in with the produce

1 small onion, chopped

4 garlic cloves, minced

¼ cup tomato paste

2/3 cup dry white wine

8 ounces angel hair pasta

Salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 ounces soft fresh goat cheese, coarsely crumbled

2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves

Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.  Add the onion and sauté until tender about 3 minutes.  Stir in the garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.  Add the tomato paste and cook for 2 minutes stirring constantly.  Add the wine and sun-dried tomatoes and simmer until the liquid reduces by half, about 2 minutes.

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.  Add the pasta and cook until al dente, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.  Drain, reserving ½ cup of cooking liquid from the pasta.  Add the pasta to the tomato mixture and toss to coat adding some reserved cooking liquid to moisten.  Season the pasta to taste with salt and pepper.  Sprinkle with the goat cheese and parsley and stir.
