"A good pasta dish from the RSVP section of Bon Appetit, September 1995. If you cannot find mascarpone, mix 6 tablespoons cream cheese with 5 tablespoons whipping cream."

Loved this! We like our pasta a bit heavy on the sauce, so used 3/4 pound of pasta. Thought it was absolutely perfect this way! What a great alternative to a tomato-based sauce, and still not as heavy as alfredo. Thanks for sharing! Made for your win in Football Tag!
