This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

For something sweet and different, try penuche fudge made with brown sugar and half and half. Nuts can be added for extra crunch, but it's tasty either way.

2 cups packed brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
2 cups half and half
2 tablespoons corn syrup
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Combine brown and white sugar in a large heavyweight saucepan. Add half and half gradually, add syrup, mix thoroughly. Bring to a boil on high heat stirring constantly.
Add a candy thermometer to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and continue to boil the mixture, without stirring until the temperature of 230 degrees F (soft ball stage). Remove from heat.
Add butter. Let it cool some.
Beat until creamy and it starts to thicken. Spread into a greased 8"x 8" pan. When cool cut into 1"x1" squares.
Store in an airtight container.
