Sun Dried Tomato Pasta

Ahhh, so as you can tell I took a bit of a hiatus from the blog but now I'm back with a new recipe you gotta try!
Recently I had a request for an Italian recipe, this may not completely fit the bill but we really enjoyed it. Definitely a nice summery dish. If you cant find sun dried tomatoes in oil there are some that you can re-hydrate but they can be a bit chewy so look for the kind in oil.

Pasta
1lb Pasta
1/2 c pearled mozzarella
1 c cherry tomatoes, halved
1 c green peas, fresh or frozen
6 sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
1/2 c Parmesan

Sauce
5 sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
3 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
1/4 c chopped parsley
6 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

-Cook pasta as directed, drain and let cool
-Combine sauce ingredients in a food processor and pulse until almost smooth
-Combine pasta with cheeses, peas and tomatoes in a bowl then pour sauce over mixture and toss.
