Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes Bagged or Canned, chopped
  • 2 tsp garlic minced (I buy mine pre-minced to cut down on time)
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes sliced vertically
  • 1/2 cup green onion (or chives) sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning blend
  • 1 box spaghetti 16 oz. cooked
  • 1/4 cup almonds sliced
  • 2 pouches chicken stock concentrate brand Savory Choice
  • 2 tbsp butter unsalted
  • 4 tbsp cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan (or romano) cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil or more, as needed

Instructions
 

  • Wash and chop veggies and herbs.
  • Bring large stockpot to boil and salt liberally.
  • Put halved grape tomatoes in medium bowl, add olive oil, salt, pepper and italian seasoning and combine.
  • While pasta is cooking to al dente, toast your almonds or nuts of choice over medium heat in large pan until lightly browned about 3 minutes.
  • Remove almonds from pan.
  • Add a little olive oil, sun dried tomatoes, and minced garlic to large pan. Cook over medium heat until garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Then add your chicken stock concentrate, 1/3 cup water, and cook for another 3 minutes until the liquid has just reduced.
  • Reduce heat to low and mix in your cream cheese.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add grape tomato mixture to the pan, as well as your fresh herbs and cooked spaghetti. Stir until fully combined.
  • Lastly, add cheese, butter, and the almonds sprinkle on top last.

Notes

After you've added your cream cheese, if the sauce seems too little or too thick, add just a little water to loosen it up a bit.
