  2. Add the diced onion to the pan and cook 2-3 minutes until softened.
  3. Add 2 tablespoon reserved oil from the sun-dried tomatoes to the pan and then add your minced garlic. Stirring often for about 1 minute so you do not burn the garlic.

  5. Once the pasta is al dente, whisk together the milk and 1 tablespoon cornstarch. Pour into the skillet and stir until thickened.

  7. Stir in sundried tomatoes then serve immediately.
