My friend made these last Christmas and were the hit of our cookie exchange. She just told me where to get the recipe - I can hardly wait to make a batch of my own.

Alpine Baked Pasta

Wow this was good, and I'm some stuffed! This dish was easy to make and bake and fill your face with. Used an italian blend of cheese that included provolone, mozzarella, parmesan and asiago. Served it up with Easy Onion & Herb Focaccia and it was a full meal. The sage made the dishes aromatic and extraordinary!
