Sun Dried Tomato and Basil Pasta Sauce
This is a nice, simple pasta sauce that is pretty easy to whip up. Molly needed to cook dinner for Food Tech and this was one of the recipes we came up with. We needed a dairy free pasta sauce to add to her repertoire. The sun dried tomatoes add a real depth. We then grated Violife Parmesan on top!
