This is from The Place Next to the San Juan Ferry in Friday Harbor, Washington. It's a great appetizer and I'm guessing that it would be a great sauce on pasta too. Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water |
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, not oil-packed |
6 tablespoons butter (3/4 stick) |
4 garlic cloves, chopped |
1/2 teaspoon dry crushed red pepper |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
1 lb fresh shiitake mushroom, stemmed, sliced |
12 ounces button mushrooms, sliced |
1/2 cup white wine |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
8 artichoke hearts, cut into 1/2-inch wedges (from 14-ounce can) |
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped |
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped |
1 french baguette, cut diagonally into 1/3-inch thick slices |
6 tablespoons butter, melted (3/4 stick) |
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated |
8 ounces herbed goat cheese |
