Pasta with Sun Dried Tomatoes and Wilted Mache

First of all sorry again for the extensive break... Some personal issued to handle... BUT now I am done and I am in Istanbul!!!! I SIMPLY LOVE THIS CITY!!!
I am not in my house, so it takes a few days to get into line and start posting daily on the blog :)...
So, for tonight I thought of something easy to make, tasty and still a little healthy ( OK, OK...not fully healthy!!! ;D )...

What you need ( for one person):

- 200-300 gr pasta of your choice
- 4-5 pieces of sun dried tomatoes
- 4-5 garlic cloves
- 30-40 gr parmigiano, grated
- olive oil
- 20 gr butter (optional- for the less healthy version)
- salt and pepper to taste
- mache salad ( it tastes earthly and is very healthy), but you can use rocca for example as well.

How to make it:

1. Put your pasta to boil in  salted water. While the pasta is boiling, cut the sun dried tomatoes in thin strips and put them aside. Grate some of your parmigiano and put it aside also.

2. Put a pan on fire to heat and put some olive oil and, if you wish, the butter to melt. When is hot, add the cut sun dried tomatoes and the crushed garlic to the pan and give them a toss for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant ( you can put the garlic in the garlic press directly, without peeling it...The press will do its job ;) )

3. When the pasta is cooked, drain it, but reserve one cup of the water in which it boiled. Add the drained pasta to the pan with the sun dried tomatoes and the garlic and toss them. Add the grated parmigiano, salt and pepper to taste and a part of the reserved water in which the pasta boiled ( don't add it all. You will add more if you think that the pasta gets too dry).

4. Add the leaves of the mache and stir. The mache salad will get a little wilted, so you should add it just before taking the pasta off fire. If you like you can add more grated parmigiano.

5. Serve the pasta very hot with a nice glass of wine.. :)
