3 cups boiling water 4 ounces sun-dried tomatoes, packed without oil (about 2 cups) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 1/8 teaspoon salt 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 cloves garlic, crushed 6 cups hot cooked cavatappi (about 12 ounces uncooked ridged, spiral pasta) 1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, torn 3/4 cup grated Asiago cheese 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese Combine boiling water and sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl; let stand 30 minutes. Drain and chop. Combine tomatoes, oil, salt, pepper, and garlic in a large bowl. Add pasta and spinach; toss gently. Sprinkle with cheeses; toss gently.
I tried this last night and my family loved it. The only thing is that I couldnt find Asiago so I used Romano instead. I also sauted everything together before mixing it with the pasta and cheese.
