This tasted nice but I would NEVER make it again. If I'm going to ingest the amount of fat that's in a cream sauce, I want the sauce to be out of this world, and this didn't come close.

This is soooo delicious. I added some sausage and brocoli. I threw the brocoli in the pasta water when the pasta was almost done and it was defintely a 30 min meal. My boyfriend had thirds and he dosent even like cream sauce. thanks

Fantastic recipe, we added garlic and topped with chopped basil. We also used bagged sun-dried tomatoes. Make sure you rehydrate them first to get rid of the chewy consistency. In the end this tasted like something from a restaurant!

This sauce was really good with added garlic and some mushrooms. The only problem I had with it was that the sundried tomatoes were a little tough. I might soak them in hot water first next time. Very tasty.

This was great! I used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream and it was excellent. I served it over mostaccioli with some sliced chicken breast and my husband and I polished it off. Thanks for sharing!

YUM YUM YUM! This tastes JUST like my favorite pasta dish from a small local restaurant. It is soooo delicious! I am not even a big fan of sun dried tomatoes, but trust me, this is fantastic! It's great with fresh cheese tortellini!

I had this at a friends house and had to ask for the recipe! It is absolutely decadent! I thought I might try adding some goat cheese and pouring this sauce over cooked boneless chicken for a mediteranean taste. Wonderful recipe!!! Thanks

I was really looking forward to this but for some reason the sun-dried tomatoes I bought tasted like raisins! I bought the sun-dried tomatoes in olive oil. So it wasnt very good : ( Other then that the sauce was very easy to make!

Love this recipe! Yummy but oh so simple! One thing I do differently is to chop the tomatoes small/thin and sautee it until tender with some olive oil so its not so rubbery when you eat it. Doing this also infuses the sun dried tomato flavor in the sauce. I like to make this with sun dried tomatoes that are just DRY not in olive oil. The tomatoes packaged in olive oil give a different taste to it that I am not a very big fan of. Kind of makes it taste fishy? I guess thats the best was to describe it. But anyways great recipe! I serve this with grilled chicken and pasta cooked al dente! Yummy... :)

I make this all the time. We love it. I add some Italian seasoned chicken and fresh bread and it's a great weeknight meal. I do not use pine nuts in it because I never have them on hand. Maybe someday.....

I agree, adding a clove of garlic is essential. I used half & half (since I didn't have any cream on hand) and let the sun dried tomatoes sit in the heated sauce for 10 minutes before I warmed it back up & served it. Yum!

My husband, 3 kids and I loved this sauce. I served it over 1 lb fresh cheese tortellini, salad and rotisserie chicken that I picked up from the deli. I made this meal in 20 minutes, and it couldn't be easier. So for that it deserves 5 stars. I omitted pine nuts, and boiled the tomatoes a few minutes. Next time I will try the jarred ones in oil, so that I can cut out the boiling step. I also added a couple cloves of garlic, and some dried basil. I used a mixture of mozzarella and provolone, and that worked just was well. I will also try to find Sargento's shredded mozzarella with Sun-dried Tomatoes and Basil that another reviewer used because that sounds yummy. With only a few minor easy changes it's perfect for my family. 5 stars all the way! Thanks.

This was a bit bland for my family. Right before I served it, I had my daughter and husband taste it and we all agreed it needed something more. I ended up adding 1/2 c. of high quality tomato sauce and topping the dish with some Romano cheese and extra pine nuts.

This dish was true to its name. Amazing! My husband loves this dish and always asks for me to make it. Sometimes I like to switch it up and add sauteed mushrooms and roasted red peppers to it as well.

Amazingly good and relatively simple to make. Love it with gnocchi and extra sun dried tomatoes. I use half and half instead of heavy cream and olive oil instead of butter to make it a little healthier.

Outstanding! Because I was making this quickly, I didn't add nuts at all. I did add garlic and thinned it a little with extra whole milk. This sauce covered an entire 12oz. bag of pasta. I topped it with shrimp.

Wonderful! I was out of Parmesan but I knew I was going to need some flavor so I subbed the same amount of capers for the saltiness/nutiness. Also, I added minced garlic, crushed basil, and a dash of cayenne. Bon apetit! :)

This sauce was just ok. I sliced some baked chicken breasts and added to the sauce and pasta to make it more hearty. I served with tortellini - it wasn't bad for an ordinary dinner but not amazing/on par for a dinner with company. If I make this again I'll add some pesto to balance out the sun dried tomatoes, again add chicken and maybe serve it with a fettuccine or something. I'll update if that improves the dish.
