Ingredients Notes:
Sundried tomatoes- I prefer to get the sundried tomatoes packed in olive oil. Drain before using.
Half and half and heavy cream- For a lighter option, you can use all half and half or replace a portion of the sauce with whole milk but I highly recommend the full fat version. The heavy cream creates the perfect creamy sauce.
