Penne Pasta with Sun-dried Tomato Cream Sauce

I am one of those cooks who seldom follow a recipe...or if I do not have all the ingredients that a recipe calls for I adapt!!! Today I did not have the cheese, but I have powered cheese so it worked just fine. I simply added about 3/4 cup (this amount may vary depending upon your taste) to my evaporated milk with the rest of the dried ingredients and just a little flour to thicken the sauce. My sundried tomatoes that I put up last season...Yummy;
