Super easy, quick and delicious-- easy to throw together, especially after a long work day when I had no idea what to cook. Luckily I had a tub of Trader Joe's mascarpone in the fridge and fresh sage from my garden. I threw in a sprig of thyme as well, and used a little of the pasta water to help the "sauce" come together. Served it with fresh sliced garden tomatoes, and was a hit with me and my picky husband!
