We know you want delicious, we know you want simple, and we know you want pasta: we're going for three out of three here. The flavors, creamy, buttery, with the hint of sun-dried tomato, are exactly on point. The recipe is easy-to-follow, using only two pans, and, well, penne. Delicious, simple, pasta.
