creamy sun-dried tomato chicken pasta

Will this snow ever go away and the weather warm up? It's almost the weekend thank goodness and because it's so crappy out I think that calls for some some warming, creamy pasta goodness. This is a great Friday night recipe to enjoy with a bottle of your favorite wine. It is really quick and easy to make but it's decadent and who doesn't love some Friday night decadence.
