This is a very simple recipe given to me by a sweet restaurant owner in Florence, Italy. We had a little language barrier, but there were so few ingredients that he was able to show me easily what was in this yummy dish. This is great for a quick weekday meal and fancy enough for company too. We named the dish ziti con salsa aurora (we think that means heavenly sauce) because it sounds fancy and I seriously didn't know enough Italian to follow anything this sweet man was telling me about the name of the dish. :o) Peace, B.
Prepare one pound of ziti according to box directions. Meanwhile, pour one 28 ounce can of crushed tomatoes into a pot. Add one tablespoon garlic powder and one cup shredded Parmesan cheese (sometimes I use a prepackaged four Italian cheese blend that is yummy good). Heat on low to allow cheese to melt, stirring occassionally. Add 4 to 6 ounces of heavy cream. Heat through. Strain ziti and return to pot. Pour sauce over cooked ziti and toss to coat. Serve warm with a bread and salad.
