Sun-Dried Tomato and Chicken Pasta

Here is a meal I got from my friend, Ashley. This is some Good Eats! I could not stop eating it! I love ANYTHING with heavy whipping cream though:) If you don't like Sun-dried tomatoes, still put them in and then pick them out. It gives everything a really good flavor. I love them... This served a family of 4: me, hubby, 2 boys.

Thanks for another great meal Ashley!!
