What are Sun Dried Tomatoes?
Sun-dried tomatoes are tomatoes that have been dehydrated either in the sun, in a dehydrator, or in the oven. Their flavor becomes extra concentrated, and they add a sweet, tangy flavor to dishes.
How Long do Sun Dried Tomatoes Last?
Jarred (oil-packed) or dried sun dried tomatoes will last 1-2 years unopened. Once opened, that jar of sun dried tomatoes will last about 3 weeks before it will need to be used up.

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well, reserving 1 cup pasta cooking liquid.
Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in white wine (or chicken broth) and cook, whisking constantly, until incorporated, about 1 minute.
Stir in heavy cream, sun dried tomatoes, mozzarella, parmesan, oregano and red pepper flakes until slightly thickened, about 1 minute.
Stir in the basil and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Toss the pasta with the sauce adding cooking liquid as needed to thin out the sauce. Serve.
