Pasta and Pancetta and Peas in a Gorgonzola Sauce image

Good and creamy, this is an impressive pasta dinner that comes together very easy. I used large rigatoni which allowed for ample cheese sauce coverage. Expect big smiles on everyone's face when they dig in.

  • 3. In the sauté pan add the cream, gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley. Whisk rapidly until the cheeses melt and the sauce comes together.
  • 4. Once pasta is cooked and still al dente toss directly into large sauté pan add peas and pancetta. Garnish with parsley or additional Parmesan cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my sauce turned out grainy. I think I might have overcooked it.

This is one of my favorite pasta dishes! The gorgonzola sauce is so rich and creamy, and the pancetta and peas add a nice salty and sweet flavor.

I'm not a fan of peas, so I left them out of the recipe. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with peas.

I added some chopped walnuts to the sauce and it was amazing! It added a nice crunchy texture and a nutty flavor.

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted tofu for the pancetta. The dish was still very good, but I think it would have been even better with pancetta.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I would use less pancetta next time. Otherwise, it was a good recipe.
