Penna Pasta With Tomato-Basil Butter

Penne Pasta With Tomato-Basil Butter
Last evening for dinner our daughter Mary made a Pasta dish with a sauce that seemed to easy to be true. Mary continues to tell me that pasta dishes in Italy are made in 15 minutes or less. As her stay with us concludes, I think she has me convinced. I will give you the ingredients and you can adjust them according to your preferences as an Italian cook would do.
