Penne Rosa

This is Pioneer Woman's recipe for pasta with a tomato-cream sauce but I renamed it because I used penne and....and well, I like how "Penne Rosa" sounds:)

This is a simple and delicious sauce. Give it a try next week....you will love it! Your kids will love it, your husband will love it...your hips, well not so much :-)


I will defintily be making this again soon and may add some grilled chicken too--so yummy!!
