Pasta Pumate

I suppose you could consider this a variation on the carbonara theme. The eggs cook just slightly by being mixed with the hot pasta. This is zesty and colorful, with the red of the tomatoes and the green of the parsley. If you don't have the sun-dried tomatoes in oil, sub extra virgin olive oil for the oil, and soak your pumate in hot water first if needed to plump them up.
