    Cook’s Comments: Sun-dried tomatoes can be bought dried in a package or bottled in olive oil, as described in this recipe. If you have the dried tomatoes in a plastic package, soak them for 8 to 10 minutes in hot water to soften. For easier slicing, use scissors. And feel free to substitute any pasta that you prefer if fettuccine is not available
