Diary of a Foodaholic

  I made the dish last weekend; bought the linguine from Trader Joe's, a slight modification from the original recipe which uses penne. 

  This is heavy stuff; it's rich and creamy as I added heavy cream and extra cheese on my version, but it's definitely worth every lb of fat =)  and it was definitely the perfect companion of the Carmenere wine that my lovely hubby brought for our Friday's dinner...
