Giada De Laurentiis has just created a dish that we need to try ASAP, and luckily it only takes 20 minutes – which is basically as soon as possible in the kitchen.

On February 25, Laurentiis posted a mouth-watering pasta video. She posted it with the caption: “The secret to making this sun-dried tomato pesto even more amazing is finding the best sun-dried tomatoes – and we have an amazing jar available direct from Italy. Hit the link in our stories for the #recipe and links to shop!

The 20 Minute Pasta Recipe is perfect for any beginner expert looking to spice up their weeknight dinners. You need less than ten ingredients in total, including pasta like Strozzapreti, parmesan cheese, basil leaves, and of course, the key ingredient sun-dried tomatoes. Laurentiis recommends using a jar of tomatoes and thankfully the best seller on Amazon is now down to just $20.

So, once you have your ingredients (make sure you don’t forget the Bella Sun Luci Sun-Dried Tomato Halves in Olive Oil!), it’s time to cook. It only takes 10 minutes and it’s as easy as it gets – so don’t worry! You start by cooking the pasta in a large pot and finish by seasoning it to your liking.
