FETTUCINI WITH SUN DRIED TOMATO SAUCE ASHTON STYLE # 133

The following recipe is one which uses sun dried tomato sauce with additional ingredients including tomato sauce, red delights cherrie tomatoes, capers, kalamata olives, pinch of red pepper, basil, escarole, and fettucini.  I would recomend Prima Terra brand sun dried tomatoes if you can find it. It comes in a jar containing the sun dried tomatoes in oil.
This recipe is Italian to the core with slight heat and a distinct Italian sun dried tomato sauce.
