I have all of these ingredients on hand except the pine nuts and I don't think I will miss them this time. This is a WONDERFUL recipe so it will be tonight's dinner. I will drizzle a little EVOO over this. Thanks so much for posting. I LOVE sun dried tomatoes.

I made it tonight and it was excellent. This one is a keeper for sure. I kept to the recipe exactly and served it over linguini, but as I mentioned didn't have the pine nuts. It was still good, and I drizzled a little olive oil over it. Thanks again for posting it.

Oh good and you are welcome! I've been wanting to make it again soon but I'll have to wait till I go grocery shopping again....I'm a huge pine nut fan, and I would miss them!!
