Fusilli with Creamy Walnut Sauce

12 ounces of Long Fusilli
12 Sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup of boiling water
1 cup of Nonfat ricotta cheese
3/4 cup of Skim milk
1/3 cup of Walnuts, lightly toasted
1 tablespoon of Coarse Dijon mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper

Make sure to toast the walnuts -- it really brings out the flavor. If you don't have any sun-dried tomatoes, you may substitute chopped tomatoes. In a large pot of boiling water, cook the Fusilli for 8 to 10 minutes, or until just tender. Scoop out 1/4 cup of the cooking liquid and set it aside. Drain the pasta and place in a large serving bowl. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the tomatoes and water. Let stand for 2 minutes. Drain and chop. Set aside. In a food processor, combine the ricotta, milk, walnuts, mustard and lemon juice. Process until the nuts are well chopped. Spoon over pasta. Add the parsley, garlic, pepper, tomatoes and the reserved cooking liquid. Toss well. Makes 4 servings
