Sundried Tomato Cream Sauce


First off I would like to apologize for the quality of the pictures I have been posting; this one in particular. I have been getting home a little later from work and barely have enough time to take a picture before all the natural light goes away. I can't wait to get a new camera but it is just one of those things that is on my list to do, but you know, may not actually get around doing them!

Well, this recipe is so easy! Thank you to my mom for making life easy peasy. I made this sauce with out any protien (chicken, sausage...) just for an extra easy meal. You could add practically anything to this sauce and it would be delicious; artichokes, olives, squash, zucchini, chicken, sausage, pesto, Italian cheeses -I could go on and on.

Directions

Bring cream and thyme to a boil then simmer for 10 min then let sit to cool a little for 10 min.
Press the tomatoes between some paper towels to get most the oil off.
Puree the tomatoes and with half of the chicken broth.
Strain the cream through a sieve to get the thyme out and put the cream back into the pan.
Add the pureed tomatoes and the rest of the chicken broth to the cream and simmer for a few minutes.
