1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
1 pinch cayenne

Yummy! I didn't have yogurt or heavy cream, so I replaced both with half-and-half. My sauce was a little thin (lack of yogurt, I'm sure) so I added another half cup of dried tomato threw it in the blender for a few seconds. The flavor was wonderful, this tasted like I spent hours in the kitchen. I served it on plain spaghetti-after tasting it, I didn't want to put it on anything that might distract from the taste.
