Equipment
- Pan I used my Our Place Always Pan for this recipe

- 1/2 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes, more or less to taste
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Kosher Salt & Black Pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoon Tomato Paste
- 4 oz Broccolini , cut into 1 inch pieces
- 1/3 cup Reduced Sodium Vegetable Broth, or broth of choice
- 1/4 cup Heavy Cream
- 6 oz Orecchiette Pasta

Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic and stir often for 3 minutes.
- Add sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, and salt & pepper. Cook for 2 minutes stirring often.
- Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions.
- Add tomato paste and combine. Cook for about 5 minutes until tomato paste turns dark red. Stir in broccolini and cook for 2 minutes. Add vegetable broth and stir until broth has been absorbed and broccolini is softened.
