Bow Ties Dressed With No-Cook Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

""In the days before modern canning methods, Italians dried sliced summer tomatoes on their tile roofs for use in winter months. Dehydrated by the sun, the tomatoes became sweet, chewy and flavorful. Early Keys pioneers undoubtedly did the same". From "The Florida Keys Cookbook", this sounds like a nice variation to a heavy sauce - good for a hot day. This quick and easy lunch or light supper can be made with penne, ziti, or orecchiette if desired."

  1. With these ingredients, there's nothing not to like about this! It's important to use the best quality sundried tomatoes in all your recipes. I don't think I made any changes at all to this, except I had to leave out basil for my BF (but of course I added it to mine). I had leftovers for lunch. Thank you :)
     
  2. This is yummy! I added extra home-grown tomatoes, capers, and sun-dried tomatoes. I also used whole wheat pasta. Thanks so much for sharing! :O)
     
  3. 2/27/09 Wow! This is packed full of yummy flavors. With each bite you get a burst of different textures and flavors. We really enjoyed this. I cut the recipe in half and there is at least enough to serve 6 people. Thanks for posting. :) 3/1/09 Just a quick update. DH and I have been enjoying leftovers for the last two days and they are great COLD.
