Penne Pasta in Gorgonzola Sauce rec.food.recipes/Kameron Bumb/1999
Here's a personal favorite, created by my father:
6 oz. Gorgonzola Cheese 1 1/2 cups heavy cream 1/2 cup chicken stock 1/3 cup dry white wine 2 Tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 Tablespoons chopped parsley 3/4 lb. dried penne pasta
In a bowl, to break cheese into small pieces mash cheese with the back of a fork, add cream and whisk or stir until smooth (some small lumps will remain).
In a saute pan, bring wine and chicken stock to a boil and reduce volume to 1/2 cup. Reduce heat to medium and mix cheese in cream into reduced wine and chicken stock, stir until smooth (approximately 3 to 5 minutes), and add salt and pepper.
Cook penne pasta according to directions on package and drain. Toss pasta with Gorgonzola sauce, add 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese and parsley, toss again, plate and top with additional Parmesan cheese.
