Converting Dangerous position to Winning Ending

In the following game, outash of the internet chess club , lost his queen for a Rook and a Bishop in a tactical sequence. Many chess players believe a Queen against a minor piece and a rook is a winning material advantage.

Black just moved his rook to e7 attacking the White Queen at e5. Black has two rooks and two bishops versus a rook, queen, and knight for White. Significant is White's 3 to 2 king majority if mass trading occurs.



Would you move your queen if your were White in this position? If not, what move would you play to exploit your pawn majority on the king side?
