Note

Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor; drain excess oil before adding to the sauce.

If the sauce becomes too thick, add more reserved pasta water a tablespoon at a time to reach desired consistency.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of milk or cream.

Substitute rotini or penne for angel hair if you prefer a pasta that holds the sauce better.
