The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.37 star rating.

This is a great recipe. It took me less than half an hour to make this sauce, just heat up a few ingredients and voila! Making your own home made sauce really couldn't be any easier, and it's so good! The only changes I made, I soaked the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for a few minutes to soften them up because I like them a little mushy. Also, when I tossed the tomatoes into the sauce I threw in a handful of fresh basil as well. It came out great, I just finished eating some right now and I couldn't wait to rate this recipe. Definitely will become a 'regular'.

So very good!!! I did as others said and added more sun-dried tomatoes and more cheese. I didn't have mozzerella so I used basil and tomatoe feta cheese along with the parmesan and it was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!

Dieters beware!! This dish is not low on calories or fat and it is reserved for very special occasions. On that note, it is absolutely divine! I would suggest tripling the sun-dried tomatoes, and you can use all grated parmesan if that is all you have and it still turns out great. I usually cook some chicken in a little bitt of olive oil and then make the sauce and add the chicken back in and toss with some pasta....perfect!

This was a bit bland for our taste so I added garlic powder and about an additional 1/2 cup of cheese, (a 4 cheese blend from the grocery deli). Nice and easy base to work with to suit your individual taste!

My husband and I loved this recipe! I added onion and garlic, per another suggestion, and that was great. Next time I'd like to add mushrooms as well. We can't wait to impress our guests with this easy and yummy dish.

Really good -- Sargento has a Sun-dried Tomato & Basil blend of Mozerella Cheese out and I used that. Nice addition to a great recipe.

This was sooo easy to make!! My family loved it! My husband does not like tortellini (which I didn't know, until after I made this), but he loved it in this! He rated it a 4.5! I didn't put the pine nuts on. I used the refrigerated cheese tortellini. I will make again!

Not bad - I thought it was a bit thin, so I added more cheese, and it definitely needed some garlic - not sure how uch I used, just added powder to taste.

This was an excellent, simple recipe, that was quick to make and really dressed up an ordinary weekday dinner. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I improvised a little taking tips from some of the other reviewers, and so didn't use this exact recipe. I served it over cheese tortellini and pan seared boneless pork chops. Details: I used olive oil instead of butter and sauted 1/3 diced onion, 1 chopped garlic clove, sliced fresh white cap mushrooms and maybe 1/2 cup of diced sundried tomatoes packed in oil; then added salt, pepper and about a cup of heavy cream and a tsp. of tomatoe paste. I left out the mozzerella and parmesean. It was still delicious!

Oh wow....I was totally unprepared for how wonderfully tasty this was!! I followed the advice of other reviewers and added some sauteed garlic and onion. I also added a little parsley. I made it as a sauce for cheese tortellini and we all loved it. I can't wait to make this again!!! I can't believe it's so quick; tastes way too good to take less than 15 minutes to make. Thanks so much!!

I absolutely LOVED this recipe! I did add some chopped grilled chicken and fresh mushrooms to the recipe just because I love both and they were a great addition. I have made this many times and my family loves too!

This recipe lives up to its name; it really was amazing! I made a few modifications, as suggested by other readers. I started with sauted shallots and garlic, to which I added the cream and butter. I also added some red pepper flakes, omitted the nuts and added peas and shrimp to finish. I served the sauce over Trader Joe's artichoke tortellinis and it was a BIG hit.

Great recipe. I also added garlic. But I love pine nuts. I lightly fried them and the sun dried tomatoes (in their oil) together and then used the fried mixture in the recipe. Browning the pine nuts gives them a different texture and a nice flavour.
