Ingredients:
1 pound penne,
500 ml. cooking cream,
6 ounce fresh spinach, washed,
4 tablespoon sliced sun-dried tomato,
1/2 cup artichoke hearts, quatered, from a can,
6 ounce prosciutto, sliced thinly and diced,
2 teaspoon minced garlic,
1 tablespoon butter,
1 tablespoon olive oil,
2 tablespoon chopped onion,
50 ml. dry white wine,
salt and pepper to taste.

Recipe: In a large heavy skillet, heat the butter and olive oil and saute the garlic, onion, artichoke, prosciutto, and sun-dried tomato for 3-4 minutes. Deglaze with the white wine and cook for 2-3 minutes more, until the wine evaporates. Add the cooking cream and reduce the cream sauce to about two-thirds. Season to taste and add the spinach one minute before the penne. In the meantime, boil the penne according to the package instructions and toss it with the Florentine sauce. Add some grated Grana di Padano cheese to the sauce, if desired. This recipe is for 4 portions of Penne Florentine.
