Pasta in Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce (Pasta Alla Gorgonzola)

This recipe for pasta alla gorgonzola was originally contributed by Peterkirchem in 2007.

Ingredients

  • 500 g the strongest Mountain or Valley Gorgonzola cheese you can buy
  • A few drops of olive oil
  • 150 g ricotta cheese
  • 1 pinch of mixed herbs
  • Grated nutmeg
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 glass of fresh milk
  • Penne or your favourite pasta
  • Water

Instructions

  1. 1
    Put on the pasta to cook in plenty of salted water.
  2. 2
    Add the drops of olive oil to a preferably cast-iron saucepan, and crumble the pieces of Gorgonzola into it, on a VERY low heat. The cheese will melt and become runny, at which point you should add the ricotta cheese and continue to melt until the whole lot becomes a sauce.
  3. 3
    If the sauce remains too thick, add a little of the milk and heat up once again.
  4. 4
    Grate in plenty of nutmeg and add the mixed herbs and leave to stand for a little while.
  5. 5
    Once the pasta is cooked, drain well and tip into a mixing bowl.
  6. 6
    Add the Gorgonzola sauce and, using a wooden spoon, mix well.
  7. 7
    Serve immediately, as with all pasta sauces.
