   • Start by combining the sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) and pesto sauce in a bowl. Mix them together well to create a flavorful pesto base.

2. Cook the Fettuccine:

   • In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 10-12 minutes.

3. Reserve Cooking Water:

   • Before draining the pasta, reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water. This starchy water will help to loosen and bind the pesto sauce to the pasta later on.

4. Combine and Heat:

   • In a separate pan or large skillet, heat the combined tomato pesto mixture along with the reserved 1/2 cup of cooking water. Heat gently over medium heat until warmed through.

5. Toss Pasta:

   • Add the drained fettuccine pasta directly into the pan with the tomato pesto mixture. Toss everything together gently over medium heat, ensuring the pasta is well coated with the pesto sauce.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Season with salt to taste, keeping in mind that the Parmesan cheese will also add a salty element. Toss once more to incorporate the seasoning.

7. Finish with Parmesan:

   • Serve the Fettuccine With Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto hot, topped generously with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. The cheese adds a creamy and savory finish to the dish.
