crisp at edges, stirring frequently, about 10 minutes. Transfer pasta to
large bowl. Add remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil to same skillet. Add
toasted pine nuts and sun-dried tomatoes and stir over high heat until just
warmed through, about 1 minute. Pour pine nut mixture over pasta. Add
chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese and toss to blend. Season to
taste with salt and pepper.
