California Creamy Sundried Tomato Pasta with Goat Cheese

Yay for PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese – it definitely is the super delicious special ingredient that makes this pasta ‘to die for’. This is a FAST and EASY dinne…

Question by pearcesrule: Does anyone have a good recipe that has shrimp, sun dried tomatoes, pasta, etc?
A couple of years ago, I found a recipe in a womans magizine. I don’t remember which one and I can’t find the recipe online (so far). I remember it has pasta (I think penne), shrimp, sun dried tomatoes, and the sauce is made from cream and other ingredients, I think it also had asparagus or broccoli. I made it back then and would like to try it again, if anyone has the recipe or one that is similar. Thank you!!!
