 Quick Sun Dried Tomato Sauce | Status Approved | | Name | Quick Sun Dried Tomato Sauce | | Category | Pasta, Quick meals, Vegetarian & Special Diets | | Serves/Yields | 4 servings | | Source | Kate's own | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 10 minutes | | Cook Time | 20 minutes total | | Introduction | | Quick meals don't have to be plain meals. Many authentic Italian sauces contain only a few key ingredients, but their simplicity and freshness create amazing flavors. In the time you can stop and buy greasy fried chicken, you can pick up the fresh ingredients to make a wonderful Italian meal thats also healthy. Many of the ingredients are already in your kitchen.Grab salad ingredients and a loaf of crusty bread, a nice bottle of wine and your family will think you slaved all day!
Good pasta is key, I like Barilla or DeCecco.
This is a simple sauce I make when I want a quick and delicious meal. | | Ingredients | |
