We go out to dinner every Sunday night to give me a day off cooking.

When I find a dish I like the flavor of, I try to replicate it at home.

When I try to adapt restaurant dishes, some of my attempts are fairly successful and others not so much.

This one turned out well.  The recipe uses Mozzarella, provolone and Parmesan cheeses combined with a  penne pasta in a rich Alfredo sauce.

The key to the taste of this recipe is using three different cheeses:  provolone, Parmesan and mozzarella. This gives a creamy finish that is just amazing.

The recipe is rounded out with white meat from my favorite rotisserie chicken, some bruschetta, with chopped tomatoes, fresh basil from my garden, and a generous serving of freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
