Gorgonzola sauce for pasta is a creamy and flavorful sauce made with the famous Italian blue cheese, gorgonzola. This sauce is a versatile option that can be used with a variety of pasta types, from short and stubby to long and thin. It is also a relatively simple sauce to make, making it a great option for busy weeknight dinners. The salty and tangy flavor of the gorgonzola cheese pairs perfectly with the richness of the cream and the heartiness of the pasta. Additionally, the sauce can be customized to taste by adding various herbs, spices, and vegetables.

GORGONZOLA SAUCE FOR PASTA
This is absolutely FABULOUS but not for the faint hearted. Full bodied flavor but do not look at the calories. Creme fraiche can be kept in the fridge for up to a week so this is a make ahead, quick recipe at the time that you want to serve it. You can substitute Blue cheese but it is not as full bodied.

PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE
This is NOT a low fat recipe, but it is oh-so delicious when you are in the mood for a treat. I made it up when I had some pancetta, heavy cream and gorgonzola on hand (three things I almost never have in the house). I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use more or less gorgonzola depending on how strong you want the flavor.
