PENNE WITH FOUR CHEESE POMODORO

By Lori | September 13, 2021

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!

 

2 tablespoon unsalted butter

4 each garlic cloves, peeled and minced

1 jar, 17 oz. TRUFF Black Truffle Pomodoro Pasta Sauce

1/4 cup cream cheese or mascarpone

1/4 cup fontina, shredded

1/4 cup mozzarella, shredded

1/4 cup grated pecorino and parmesan

1 lb. penne pasta, cooked according to the package’s instruction with 1 cup of pasta water reserved

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in TRUFF Black Truffle Pomodoro Pasta Sauce and bring to a low simmer.
  4. Once simmering, sprinkle in cheeses one at a time and whisk until combined and melted.
