RECIPE | Chicken and sundried tomato pasta

Sun-dried tomatoes add a sweetness and tang to usual pasta dishes.

If you find the sun-dried tomatoes that aren't preserved in olive oil, you can make your own.

Soak the sun-dried tomatoes in hot water for 30 minutes. Remove from water and place in a jar with a lid and cover in olive oil.
