Broccoli and Sun-dried Tomato Pasta
Quick. Easy. Light. Healthy. Perfect as a side dish or as a meal.
We love meals that are easy to put together and this one does not disappoint. Originally a process used to preserve the sun ripened flavor of vine grown tomatoes, our Tomato Flakes are a delightful twist on store bought sun dried tomatoes. The cooking process in this recipe rehydrates these tomatoes to add vibrant color and impressive depth of flavor to this dish.
A little heat from our Organic Red Pepper Flakes and garlicky goodness from the Organic Granulated Garlic really round out this deliciously healthy dish.
