Delicious! I loved this recipe. I have always liked sun-dried tomatoes in restaurants; but whenever I used them at home I found them to be too acidic or bitter. Well, with this recipe I finally figured out the solution. I spent the $1 or so extra and bought the imported jar and they were perfect. Live and learn...

This was very good. I used packaged sun-dried tomatoes which was drier that oil packed ones and tasted great. I also added mushrooms.

This is absolutely delicious; however, can you come up with a lighter version? The fat grams in this are way over my limit. I am assuming that is the reason you don't print the nutritional facts in the magazine. Do you think it would be okay to substitute a cup of fat free half and half for the heavy whipping cream and drain the oil from the tomatoes before sauteing them?
