SUN-DRIED TOMATO PESTO WITH BOW TIE PASTA RECIPE
This is a recipe that was in my Sunday newspaper and the American Profile by Kathy Dicharo of Bryan, TX. She says: "Where I work we have Food Day every other month when everyone brings a dish. This pasta dish is a simple recipe with just a few ingredients, but it is big on flavor. I use bowtie pasta because it looks so pretty but any kind of pasta can be used. This recipe is a favorite for all the workers!". It is true that this is DELICIOUS and very rich.The article said 12 servings and it is rich enough that 12 is possible but they would be very small servings. We 8 dinner-sized servings.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND BOW TIE PASTA
Anti-meat pasta dish, which makes your tastebuds feel alive with the great combined flavors of sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, red pepper and pesto sauce. My husband and I came up with this recipe about two years ago playing around in the kitchen one day. Ever since then it has been our family's favorite. Garnish each dish with red pepper or Parmesan cheese to your taste. Instead of making your own pesto you can use 1/2 bottle of pre-made pesto from the grocery store.
