Mascarpone Penne with Sun-dried Tomatoes
Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there! I'm up early and getting ready to head to class, at 4:30 on May 23rd my summer will officially begin.
After Grilled Cheese month was over there was an almost full tub of mascarpone cheese sitting in the fridge. I wanted to smear it on bagels, but Dave wanted to transform it into something other than a substitute for regular cream cheese. This recipe was our compromise.

Recipe from She Knows.
Ingredients:
-Salt and pepper to taste
-12 ounces penne, cooked according to package directions
-2 tablespoons butter
-2 tablespoons flour
-2 tablespoons whole milk
-1 (8 ounce) container mascarpone cheese
-1 cup Italian cheese mixture, shredded
-1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
-1 cup peas
Mix in the sun-dried tomatoes, peas and pasta. Stir to coat. |
Season with salt and pepper to taste. |
This pasta was so easy to make and the results were a great week night dinner. The sun-dried tomatoes added texture and a saltiness to the pasta. The peas added color and a nice fresh element. The mascarpone cheese melted fantastically with the Italian blend cheese and the sauce was very rich. This made a lot of pasta and the leftovers were just as good for lunch the next day.
