Directions
Penne Alla Panna, This is a very tasty and quick pasta meal. I got the recipe years ago when I was still at school and went home with one of my friends to have dinner at her house. Her family traveled to Tuscany every year and this was their version of a pasta dish they had eaten there. Serve with a side salad and some crusty bread. You can use any type of pasta really if you haven’t got penne pasta, it’s really nice with tortellini as well., Easy and the family loved it. Used half and half, instead of cream. Great use leftover ham from Xmas or Easter., This dish was really simple to make and the finished product looked like a gourmet version of macaroni and cheese. I enjoyed the recipe, however, I found it too salty for my tastes, which may be due to the type of prosciutto that used, or perhaps that I am not used to eating prosciutto. Either way, I might try it once more, using proscuitto from my italian grocer. Thanks! Updated: I often go back to this recipe and use capicollo ham, it’s wonderful and so quick. Wonderful flavour with such little effort!
