Penne with Prosciutto and Parmesan




Matt protested (just in case his doctor was eavesdropping), but this incredibly simple and mighty tasty dish from the December issue of Gourmet still made it to the table.

Because it calls for prosciutto, and that's not really an option of me, I split the recipe in half, and used vegetarian bacon for mine.

That left a problem: we didn't have appropriately-sized baking dishes for the two, smaller amounts, so I improvised. That meant neither one developed the golden crunchy cheese layer.

But it was still pretty darn good. There's nothing spectacular about it; rather, it's like high-end comfort food.

Really, really, tasty comfort food...

- Peanut Butter Pancakes

- Cookies...it's Begun
Alex's teacher asked if I could make sugar cookie Gingerbread men for his and the other preschool class; apparently, kids who are not Alex don't like strong spices like ginger and cloves. Could I?? Hee...I live for this. You won't want...

- The Count Of Monte Cristo Sandwich
The end of the year is approaching, and I seem to have some stuff lying around in draft-form. I think I'm going to just start posting it, to clear it out. Made this several weeks ago. Not bad. You won't want to miss the most fabulous Blog...

- Parmesan And Prosciutto, A Perfect Combination
A very fast dinner from last week; a Parmesan and prosciutto tart. Eggs, milk, cream, parsley (from the garden!), Parmesan cheese, and prosciutto, poured into a store-bought pie crust; baked till set and golden. I substituted Morningstar Farms vegetarian...
