I'...Thank you for letting me know your thoughts! I'm glad you enjoyed it overall.<br /><br />The sweetness in the sauce is more likely to be from the prunes and not the type of tomatoes you prefer; while one variety of tomatoes may be sweeter than the other, the sweetness from the prunes are more prominent. <br /><br />I'm pleased to know that cashew cream makes an excellent substitute for the whipping cream. I've only ever experimented with Lactaid as a lactose-free substitute, but it's not as thick as whipping cream and doesn't always make for a good sub.<br /><br />Let me know how you like it with raisins! I think dried cherries would work, too.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361819186011561670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-58873791020247366112012-09-13T11:51:23.386-04:002012-09-13T11:51:23.386-04:00I stumbled onto this site searching for recipes th...I stumbled onto this site searching for recipes that would utilize some roasted Sungold tomatoes that I needed to use. The odd ingredients sucked me in. Prunes were the only item that I lacked, but could be obtained from the corner drugstore without much effort.<br /><br />This recipe was slightly too sweet for me, most likely because I had Sungold tomatoes rather than Roma. I will have to try it again as directed. However, I wanted to share this tip. While I do not care a whit about fat content, the SO is lactose intolerant. Therefore, I subbed out the whipping cream with cashew cream.<br /><br />It was a healthier option without compromising anything in texture. It also put me one ingredient away from a vegetarian dish. I agree that the anchovy offers a touch of complexity, but omitting it will provide you with a vegan option.<br /><br />This is my first taste of prunes and I may prefer subbing them with blanched raisins in the future. I prefer the taste of raisins and always have them in the cupboard. This recipe is a relatively effortless and healthy meal for those looking to add to their pasta repertoire.makemineirishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07394336640069593811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060755630800309245.post-20264973296319674792010-02-05T10:37:03.529-05:002010-02-05T10:37:03.529-05:00Peter ~ Thanks.
