Author Notes: Even if you don’t have much left in your fridge, not too worry. As long as you have a vegetable (preferably zucchini), some eggs and pasta, you can whip up this healthy Italian meal. Oh, by the way, I assume you foodies never run out of versatile sun-dried tomatoes and a bottle of white for cooking!
Even if you are not a foodie, you should stash sun-dried tomatoes in your cupboard. The tomatoes not only add flavours to ordinary meat sauce or risotto, they could also be a big help when you prepare a simple appetizer with limited ingredients – Place sun-dried tomatoes, your favourite cheese, olives and fresh sour dough slices onto a cheese board. It’s that easy!
