SPINACH MUSHROOM GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE
Simple and Quick recipe that tastes exactly the opposite... I used frozen chopped spinach, however, fresh baby spinach cut into a chiffonade brings a freshness to the sauce that marries with the fresh parsley... Also, any mushrooms will do, and reduced fat sour cream is perfect, the fat free version tastes artificial in this sauce...This all started with what I had on hand... Saute some chicken tenders and serve all over pasta...Yummy! Let me know what you think...

GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE
Autumn is the season for rich, creamy sauces, and I'm pretty sure you're going to be shocked at just how easy this one is. When your cream is reduced, your sauce is practically done. I like serving this with a stuffed pasta like tortellini or ravioli, topped with diced apple and crunchy toasted walnuts.
