Ingredient Notes
- Sun-dried tomatoes - these are often found packed in oil (we often use the California brand). You will want to remove them from the oil and chop them into smaller pieces. There are also sun-dried tomatoes that you can get dry packed in a resealable bag.
- Fresh basil - we highly recommend using fresh basil over dried basil for this recipe.
