Sun-dried Tomato and Mushroom Sauce
Are you looking for a light sauce to have over pasta or chicken? This is an easy, light and tasty sauce that goes great with just about any pasta. While the original recipe was rich with cream and paired with linguine, we prefer my altered version with cheese gnocchi.
