Notes

  • Tip 1: You can buy sun-dried tomatoes already cut into strips - called julienned sun-dried tomatoes!
  • Tip 2: When buying sun-dried tomatoes, buy the ones in oil, that oil is packed with flavor.
  • Tip 3: You can use two teaspoons of tomato paste or swap for one tablespoon of canned tomato/passata.
  • Tip 4: Look for the long life shelf-stable packages; you will find it on the pasta aisle at the grocery store.
