I didnt have sundried tomatoes but I used delmonte diced tomatoes with basil oregeno and garlic. Also I have tried it with Spaghetti noodles but it was also great with spaghetti squash. Also have tried it using an italian turkey sausage. Great variations. Adding some spinich in it helped with the color and it tasted great too.

This was so yummy! I didn't have sun-dried tomatoes so I used a fresh, diced up roma, and added a handful of chopped spinach at the end and let is sit until wilted. THank you for this one!

Delicious dish for family dinners or company. My two changes: use only 8 oz of thin whole wheat spaghetti and stir in several handfuls of baby spinach for color and nutrition.
