Fettuccine With Gorgonzola, Spinach and Pine Nuts image

This recipe comes from an award winning Australian chef. It's quick and easy to make, and tastes absolutely delicious. The sauce also goes well with gnocchi and buccatini. Said to serve 6, but I generally use around 250 g of pasta and half the listed amount of the other ingredients to serve two as a main. For a vegetarian version use non-animal rennet cheeses.

This recipe was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter sauce.
