Penne Pasta with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

This is a recipe I found on the internet via the overrated, time wasting site of 'pinterest'. Decided it would be a good change from my typical weekly meals, I jotted it down on a recipe card and gave it a shot. Husband and I both enjoyed it, but we both agreed that it needs some meat. It's too vegetarian. No offense to you animal lovers out there, but animals wouldn't be so damn tasty if they weren't meant to be eaten. The next time I prepare it, I will have to throw in slices of chicken or marinated steak. Ooh, or even some breaded pork.

The meal yields 7 servings, and took about 25 minutes to prepare.

Here are the ingredients:

8oz dry penne pasta
1 can evaporated 2% milk
1 tsp dried basil
8 sun dried tomatoes, chopped. (1/3 cup)
2 cups italian four cheese blend
1/4 tsp garlic
1/4 tsp black pepper

Prepare pasta according to package directions, adding the sundried tomatoes to boiling pasta water for last two minutes of cooking time; drain.
Meanwhile, combine evaporated milk, cheese, basil, garlic powder and pepper in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium low heat, stirring occasionally, until cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
Add pasta and tomatoes to cheese sauce; stir until combined. Serve.

No Title

Alright, so I've been sitting here at my laptop for a few minutes knowing I've got to make a post to start this blog off. I can't decide if I want to throw on one of my previous made recipes or just make an introductory entry, so we'll see where this goes.
Then I couldn't decide on a clever and witty post title. So it has no title. Deal with it. If you really don't like it, suggest something, and if I like you, I'll change it. You could be all "we're good friends" and then suggest some POS name, and then try the "Your post said if you like me you'll use my name suggestion" but that there will make me like you less, so don't try it. It wont work out in anyone's favor. :P

So, this is my blog "Eat my Words". I had another blog that may or may not still be used, and I would on occasion post recipes I love or recipes often requested by friends for parties or gatherings. When I'm with family I often make food for them and they've often told me I should start a culinary blog so the interwebs can nom on my foods. One of my favorite girl friends has a cooking blog and I stalk through it obsessively to drool over all her delicious recipes, so I finally decided to agree on a blog. And here we are.

Alright, we've established this is a food blog. Hm, what else. No? I think thats it. Oh, so I'm currently in the US of A on vacation. In about a week my military husband and I will return to our home in Germany, and I be able to start cooking up recipes to share online. Until than, this blog will look kind of sad, so bare with me. I do have a cake recipe I made in June I could throw up here just to make this a little more of a food blog, but who knows.

Okie dokie, I think that's officially it. Have a fantasmical day!

PS Thank you to my aforementioned girl friend Jessica of Gettin' Cookin' for helping me with this layout! I appreciate it and like to look at my own blog with the ogling eyes of a narcissistic lover! ;D
