I ended up with some leftover mascarpone cheese after making this pasta. Not wanting it to go to waste, I went on the hunt for a recipe. But not just any recipe, a recipe that I could make without having to go to the store for ingredients. After going through what seemed like a lot of recipes and pinning several, I thought I was going to have to cave and go to the store to buy some ingredients. Then I found a recipe where I had all of the ingredients. Even better I had just enough leftover heavy cream. So not only did I use up the mascarpone cheese, but I was able to use up the little bit of heavy cream I had as well.
This recipe was super easy and super delicious. The hardest part was waiting for it to chill in the fridge for an hour. When I asked my husband if he wanted some, he said he only wanted a bite. I told him he could eat all of it, but he said, no just a bite. Well that one bite turned into all of it.
