Pasta Alle Cinque Pi

The name cinque pi refers to the 5 (italian = cinque) most important ingredients in this sauce which in italian all start with the letter p: panna (cream), purea di pomodoro (tomato puree), prezzemolo (parsley), parmigiano (parmesan), pepe (pepper). This pasta dish which originates from italy is very popular in switzerland. Therefore, i categorized it as italian and swiss.
