Sun-dried tomato spread is a blend of sun-dried tomatoes, tomato paste and olive oil. Use it as a spread on toast or as a substitute for tomato paste. You can find it with the packaged sun-dried tomatoes in the produce section of your local grocery store. This colorful salad easily enhances the holiday spread. The bow tie pasta and sauteed veggies are covered in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Itâs delicious. Ingredients:
2 cups uncooked bow tie pasta |
1-1/4 cups half-and-half cream |
1/3 cup sun-dried tomato spread |
1 large sweet red pepper, julienned |
1 large sweet yellow pepper, julienned |

5 teaspoons olive oil |
1 package (10 ounces) frozen peas, thawed |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
minced fresh parsley and grated parmesan cheese, optional |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine cream and sun-dried tomato spread until blended. In a large skillet, saute peppers, mushrooms and onion in oil until crisp-tender. Reduce heat. Add cream mixture; bring to a gentle boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes.
2. Stir in the peas, salt and pepper. Drain pasta; add to sauce mixture. Cook for 5 minutes or until heated through. Garnish with parsley and cheese if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
