Day 132 of Project

This isn't my own recipe, it's from allrecipes.com (I love that site)! But it is delicious and I lightened it up a little from the original. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 3/4 pound sliced pepperoni sausage (I used 1 package of Hormel turkey pepperoni)
• 2 tablespoons minced shallots
• 4 medium tomato - peeled, seeded and chopped (I used cherry tomatoes cut in half_
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream (I only had a half a cup so I substituted milk for the rest)
• 1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Cook the penne according to the package directions.
2. In a large skillet saute the pepperoni until crispy (about 5 to 8 minutes). Drain all but 1 tablespoon of the grease (you won't need to do this with turkey pepperoni). Add the shallot and garlic. Cook until translucent. Stir in the tomatoes and simmer for about 3 minutes.
3. Stir in the cream and cook until reduced (about 8 minutes). Add the parsley and remove from the heat.
4. Add the drained pasta and toss, garnish with parmesan cheese.
