So simple and yet so delicious! I halved this recipe and used butter instead of olive oil. The butter and leftover "juice" from the sun-dried tomatoes combine to make a fantastic "sauce". The unusual combination of basil, peas, and parmesan works like a charm, with each flavour complementing the other and yet standing out! Thanks canarygirl, this was marvellous!
