Sun-dried Tomato and Parmesan Carbonara


6oz tagliatelle pasta (I didn't have any, so I used spaghetti)
10 sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil, drained
2 eggs, beaten
2/3 cup heavy cream(If you don't have any just add 1Tbs butter to 2/3 c. whole milk)
1 Tbs whole grain mustard
2/3 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
12 torn, fresh basil leaves (start with 8 and then add more as needed. Fresh is VERY strong)
salt and pepper to taste

Boil pasta until al dente. Remove from heat.

Cut tomatoes into small pieces. Beat eggs, cream and mustard in a mixing bowl until smooth and combined. Don't let mixture get frothy.

Drain pasta. Put pasta on low heat. Mix in cream mixture, Parmesan, tomatoes and basil leaves. Cook on low for one minute or until mixture thickens. Salt and pepper to taste.
