Loved the sundried tomatoes, nice intensity of flavor. Did add setra olives as we enjoy them.

My toddler who is going through a stage of not even trying her mother's cooking :( took a fancy to this and even had seconds. DH doesn't like cheesy creamy pasta dishes normally but he also liked this. I found it was very easy to prepare and hit the spot perfectly.
