1 tsp Italian seasoning

Notes
Use sturdy pasta like penne, rigatoni, or ziti so it holds up well during slow cooking
If the sauce thickens after cooking or reheating, add a splash of chicken broth or heavy cream to adjust texture
Flavor varies depending on the type of sun dried tomatoes used, so adjust salt at the end if needed
