Penne with Triple-Tomato Sauce

Definitely add the goat cheese! It really makes the dish.

I basically through everything together and let it simmer while munching on olives, cheese and marinated mushrooms. Adding the goat cheese after plating allowed a perfect time frame for the goat cheese to melt slightly, leaving an delightful texture and taste sensation. Fresh basil is a must!!

I was very pleased with the over all result. The only thing I changed was adding 2 tomatoes rather then four. I think next time I may add some chorizo or some kind of italian sausage to spice things up!

Don't skip the Goat Cheese! That is much of the flavor and richness. This was wonderful and very rich, hard to believe it is "light". I added a little more onion and garlic per my family's taste preferences, and dropped the parsley because I didn't have any fresh. It came out better and more flavorful than my Vodka-cream sauce that uses half and half.

super simple to put together and the three tomatoes gave a wonderful tomato taste. I used tomatoes on the vine instead of plum tomatoes, and I think that made the difference. I also used parmesan rather than the the goat cheese.
