A luscious sauce of cream, milk and sun-dried tomato pesto adorns freshly-cooked pasta in this memorable preparation. You will love the way the sauce fills the pasta, and how the cheese semi-melts in the latent heat of the penne with sun-dried tomato pesto sauce as soon as it is garnished. Serve hot to avoid the pasta from becoming rubbery.
