Pasta With Sun-Dried Tomatoes
"A simple sauce tossed with your favorite pasta for a quick yet healthy dish.
Sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms provide a nice meaty texture for those who choose not use meat. Personally, I add a pound of jumbo shrimp at the end and substitute clam juice or seafood broth for chicken broth.
This meal is served with a caesar salad and Texas toast After the sauce has cooked to desired thickness, just toss the pasta and you are ready for a treat.
My idea, my version. Takes less than an hour minutes to prepare."

<p>I love to cook. To this day I have yet to patent some of my cooking utensils because of the expense to get a trademark, or patent. <br />Cooking shows might be interested in some of my ideas for a show. But how do I get started without someone taking my ideas??? <br />Well, I guess I will just have to post my recipes and some of my ideas here.</p>
