The World According To Penne
Penne pasta is a product of Naples, Italy. The pasta was created to remind the clever Neapolitans of the days when their ancestors dipped feather quilled pens into bottles of ink in order to communicate the written word. Although the pasta has an air of delicacy, it is able to hold its weight from the lightest to the heaviest of sauces. Deliberating over how to begin a meal, it is not easy unless it happens to be a soup that can be light enough to be served as an appetizer or stand alone as an entree. Penne Pasta Soup 3-cups swiss chard, julienned(cut into long strips) Directions: In a dutch over or a soup pot: A rich dense portabella mushroom sauce works well with the delicate balance of penne pasta. Portabella Mushroom Sauce Directions: Saute the sliced mushrooms and onions until they are tender. Add the worchestershire sauce and the half and half. Stir the ingredients and then add the red or rose wine and the parsley flakes. Boil the penne pasta in salted water and drain it in a strainer.After the pasta is drained put into an oiled baking dish and pour the mushroom sauce over it. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for thirty minutes. A ham and cheese sauce is for those times when a meal needs to be prepared in a hurry.

Pour the cheese sauce over the ingredients. Cover the ingredients with foil and bake at 350 degrees for thirty minutes. A penne pasta salad is a topic of debate over whether to use fresh plum tomatoes, a favorite brand of canned plum ones, or the sweetness of the sun dried. Whatever the outcome of the discussion, any type of plum tomato will do.
