I love this dish. I'm not crazy about sun dried tomatoes though so I just put in two diced roma tomatoes. I also added a bit more green onion and stirred the parmesan into the sauce at the end to make sort of an alfredo sauce. I used about a 1/4 cup. It was really good! I also used penne pasta instead of linguine.
