Well someone had to be the first...so I made my meal this evening.
Menu: Prosciutto and Mascarpone Penne Pasta
White Chocolate and Mascarpone dip with cherries
I must admit, it sounds better than it was. On a scale from 10 (Best Meal Ever) to 1 (We had to order in it was so bad) I would give it a solid 5. John also gave it a 5...BUT here are the two recipes and the pictures.
Prosciutto and Mascarpone Penne Pasta
1 clove Garlic
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 piece of prosciutto 1/4 in thick
28 oz diced Italian style tomatoes
4 oz Mascarpone
Prepared Penne Pasto
Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to pan and heat, cut prosciutto into small pieces and add to pan. After prosciutto is cooked through add garlic and drained tomatoes. Simmer about 20-30 min or until most of the liquid is gone. Add Mascarpone right before serving.
White Chocolate and Mascarpone Dip
1/2 cup whipping cream
3 oz white chocolate
1/2 tsp vanilla
4oz Mascarpone
Melt 3 oz white chocolate with 1/4 cup whipping cream in double boiler. Once it is melted, let cool to room temperature and mix remaining 1/4 cup whipping cream, vanilla and 4 oz--mix well. Fold in white chocolate. Serve with fruit.

That is sad they weren't amazing. They sound really tasty. Maybe if there were more prosciutto and garlic, and less tomatoes...and more herbs? And perhaps a spice of some sort in the white chocolate mascarpone dip? Not sure. They look pretty though! :) Way to go!
