How to Make Light Sun Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

  1. Drain the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and cut them into thin slivers.
  2. Place the sun-dried tomato slivers in a bowl and cover with 1 cup of hot water. Let them soak for 15 minutes to soften.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/2 cup of cold water until you have a smooth, lump-free paste. Add more water if needed to reach a smooth consistency.
  4. Heat the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat until it's almost boiling (small bubbles start forming around the edges).
  5. Slowly whisk in the flour paste into the hot milk. Continue whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
  6. Add the salt and pepper.
  7. Reduce heat to low and continue whisking until the sauce has thickened to your desired consistency (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the softened sun-dried tomatoes.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve the sauce immediately over your favorite pasta and garnish as desired. Enjoy!
