Now, add to that a very creamy and cheesy sauce, and you cannot stay put for a minute longer. Off to the kitchen, on with the apron, ready to cook up lip-smacking Creamy Cherry Tomatoes and Olives! Although optional, the dash of white wine does impart a very exotic touch to this dish, so try to include it in your preparation.
