PENNE PASTA WITH TOMATOES, HERBS AND BLUE CHEESE

Absolutely fantastic pasta dish. This dish is always a hit. I've been making it for about 10 years and I still get lots of requests for it. It is based on a recipe I found in "The California Wine Country Cookbook II" that I purchased on a visit to the Kenwood Vineyards. I usually serve with a Cesear Salad and Bruschetta.

PENNE AL BAFFO (CREAMY TOMATO-HAM PASTA)

"Al Baffo" is said to be the abbreviated version of an Italian expression "da leccarsi i baffi," which translates to "it is so good you'll lick your whiskers," because the sauce is abundant, thick and creamy. Tomato, ham and cream come together in this simple pasta sauce to form a comforting and easy weeknight meal. Cooked ham (as Italians call it, "prosciutto cotto"), is a hearty addition, as it provides texture and necessary salt. This recipe calls for deli ham, but you can substitute prosciutto or even pancetta if the mood strikes. An extra shower of Parmigiano before serving is a must for this filling meal.
