LIKE CHICKEN PENNE GORGONZOLA
BY JOHNNY CARINO'S

My all time favorite pasta!

BUILD FOR ALFREDO SAUCE:
1 quart heavy (whipping) cream
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tbsp. black pepper
1/4 cup whole milk

Saute heavy cream, milk, and black pepper to a consistent boil. Remove cream mixture from heat and fold in parmesan cheese. Store completed sauce in refrigerator until use.

BUILD FOR CHICKEN PENNE GORGONZOLA
1 oz. melted butter
1 tsp. chopped fresh garlic
1 cup sliced mushrooms
3 oz. chicken
1/2 tsp. salt/pepper/granulated garlilc
1 oz. heavy (whipping) cream
3 oz. Alfredo sauce (recipe above)
1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese
10 oz. penne pasta, cooked
fresh parsley (for garnish)
1/8 cup diced Roma tomatoes (for garnish)

In a heated saute pan, combine butter, garlic, chicken, mushrooms, and spice mixture. Once mushrooms begin to soften and garlic becomes translucent, add heavy cream and gorgonzola cheese.

As cheese dissolves into the dish, add Alfredo and penne pasta. Once dish is fully sauteed and combined well, remove from heat and allow to slightly cool to thicken. Top with fresh parsley and roma tomatoes.
