PENNE WITH FOUR CHEESE POMODORO

This recipe for a creamy-tomato Italian sauce is equally cheesy and easy. Cream cheese (or mascarpone, for the ultra-Italiano), fontina, mozzarella, and parmesan are simmered in our very own TRUFF Black Truffle Pomodoro Pasta Sauce before being tossed with some al dente penne pasta. A simple and delicious dinner option for those busy weekday nights!
