CREAMY BASIL & TOMATO PASTA
This dish was inspired by combining several different recipes. (Note - we don't like a lot of extra sauce- just enough to cover the pasta - so if you like a lot of sauce, you may want to make a little more).

Tips:

- If you don't have heavy cream, you can use milk instead. However, the sauce will be thinner.
- If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use fresh tomatoes instead. Just be sure to dice them finely.
- Serve the pasta bake immediately with a sprinkle of fresh basil.
