4-Cheese Penne Pasta Skillet Sensation ***

This one was originally printed on a recipe calendar where I used to work, but I've made so many changes through the years that it's turned into something else completely, lol.  We still love it, though.  I'm not going to lie.  It's better with the regular penne pasta, but the cheese does a decent job of masking the texture of the whole wheat.  It's a fair trade, right?  ;)  It makes about 4-6 servings, but I normally double it if I want enough for leftovers the next day.

½ cup shredded Swiss cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ shredded sharp cheddar cheese

* Amy’s notes: I used ground turkey, fire roasted tomatoes, and whole wheat/whole grain pasta.
