We picked up some fancy shaped pasta to make this dish (President’s Choice Memories of Piemonte Casarecce) just for something a bit different.  I’ve been keen to make this recipe since I saw the recipe posted over at Simply Recipes - it just seemed so easy and a guilt-free way to get a creamy pasta sauce.

The only thing we added to the recipe were sundried tomatoes.  We tossed them into the boiling pasta for the last few minutes to soften them up (we alway buy dry - never the oil-packed sundried tomatoes).  Just don’t ask how long we spent in the cheese section selecting the ricotta.  Let’s just say it was long enough to make the husband fidgety.

Boyfriendly (and peanut) rating: 5/5 and everyone went back for seconds.  Just be generous with the cracked pepper to serve.  Mmmm cracked pepper.
