Visit to Carrabba's Part 5 - Penne Franco

Penne Franco consists of sauted mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes in oil, artichoke hearts, black olives and ricotta salata.  I had no idea as to what ricotta salata was but Chef Michael explained that it's ricotta that has been salted, making it firm.  When I bit into this dish, my mouth filled with many flavors.  I could taste the individual ingredients but a wonderful blend of flavors at the same time.  This is a truly wonderful dish.
