Creamy sun-dried tomato pasta sauce
This sauce is so delicious and easy to make. The sauce is best when it has been blended but don’t worry if you haven’t got a hand blender, simply chop the sundried tomatoes into small pieces. This sauce is delicious over ravioli or tortellini, but any pasta will do!
