This dish is a wonderfully simple date night recipe that I like to dust off from time to time. It's sure to impress any dinner guest as the flavours of garlic sun-dried tomatoes and oregano mixed with the creaminess of parmesan and heavy cream make this dish taste as good as what you would get at an Italian restaurant!

What's more is it is super easy to make and uses a number of store cupboard ingredients, making this a relatively inexpensive dish that can be thrown together easily on a week night.
