Penne alla Cognac
By
Chef Pat Marone
(The Regency at Glen Cove)



Pasta

Creamy

This Penne alla Cognac is simple to make and I'm sure it's going to tastes delicious. As many people may know by now I love making cream sauces, but this will be the first time I make a cognac cream sauce mixed together with a pomodoro sauce.

A pomodoro sauce is a delicious tomato sauce made with plenty of garlic, onions, basil and crushed San Marzano tomatoes. You can view Chef Marone making his pomodoro sauce. It's easy and quick to make.

If your looking for a new sauce to put over your pasta then this Penne alla Cognac recipe is perfect for you. I’m definitely trying this one tonight.
