Penne with Alfredo Sauce

I was so tired after work the other day that I decided that dinner would be anything that took less than 10 minutes—5 if possible. The only thing left in the frig at the end of the week was a pint of cream I had set aside for a fudge recipe and this wonderful imported block of Parmigiano-Reggiano. Pasta is a staple that I always have on hand.
