"This is out of the 2004 edition of KCTS Chef's cookbook. It was sent in by Antonio Mauro the executive chef from Anton's Pasta Bar in Burnaby BC. The original recipe called for 20 oz of pasta for 2 servings. No wonder the portions are so big at restaurants. I changed it to 8 oz and decreased the half-half also to 8 oz. it was 18 oz."

- Choose fresh prawns for the best flavor and texture.
- Make sure to use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor.
- Substitute olive oil for margarine - Olive oil is a healthier alternative to margarine and will not add additional flavor to the dish.
- Substitute almond milk for half and half - Almond milk is a dairy-free alternative to half and half that still provides a creamy texture to the dish.
Vegetarian Penne Bombay Substitute the prawns with 1 pound of diced mushrooms, and substitute the half-and-half with vegetable broth. Omit the wine and sour cream, and use olive oil instead of margarine.
Cucumber and Tomato Salad - This light and refreshing salad is the perfect accompaniment to the rich and creamy Penne Bombay. The crunch of the cucumber and the sweetness of the tomatoes provide a nice contrast to the pasta dish.
Garlic Naan: This classic Indian flatbread is the perfect accompaniment to the Penne Bombay. The garlic and butter flavor of the naan pairs perfectly with the creamy pasta dish, and its soft texture is a great contrast to the crunch of the cucumber and tomato salad.
