Delicious and easy. I had a bumper crop of tomatoes this year so have been watching for recipes to use them. I love the combination of fresh and sun-dried tomatoes. Next time I'll make a little more sauce and I'll probably double the recipe. It says it will serve 4... not when you have a husband who really likes it. Made enough for 2 with left-overs for my lunch the next day.
