Instructions

6 steps
  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce.

    Finely chop sun-dried tomatoes. Peel and mince or grate garlic. Halve grape tomatoes lengthwise; place in a small bowl and toss with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper. Pick parsley leaves from stems; finely chop leaves. Thinly slice chives.

  2. 2

    Once water is boiling, add spaghetti to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes.

    Reserve 1⁄3 cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain.

  3. 3

    While spaghetti cooks, heat a large, dry pan over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring often, until fragrant and lightly browned, 2-4 minutes.

    Turn off heat; transfer to a second small bowl. Wipe out pan.

  4. 4

    Heat a drizzle of olive oil in pan used for almonds over medium heat. Add sun-dried tomatoes and garlic; cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

    Stir in stock concentrate and 1⁄3 cup plain water (½ cup for 4 servings). Bring to a simmer and cook until slightly reduced, 1-2 minutes.

    Reduce heat to low and whisk in cream cheese until fully incorporated.

  5. 5

    Stir grape tomatoes into pan with sauce. Add drained spaghetti, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and 1 TBSP butter (2 TBSP for 4 servings); toss to combine. TIP: If needed, stir in reserved pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.

    Stir in half the chopped parsley and half the chives. Season with salt and pepper. Turn off heat.

  6. 6

    Divide pasta between bowls. Top with toasted almonds, remaining Parmesan, remaining chopped parsley, and remaining chives. Serve.
