Mostaccioli, or penne pasta, is tossed with a rich, creamy white sauce of cream, Parmesan and fresh parsley.
INGREDIENTS (for 8 servings):
- 1 (16 ounce) package mostaccioli
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

PREPARATION:
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
