A Simple Gorgonzola Sauce Recipe for Complicated Pasta

As many of you may know, Gorgonzola is Italy's delicious contribution to the worlds' great blue cheeses. This Gorgonzola sauce recipe video, I recently produced for About.com, is about as simple a blue cheese sauce as you'll find.

The complicated pastas I refer to in the title are the folded, shaped, and stuffed delicacies like tortellini, ravioli, and gnocchi. This rich and strongly flavored sauce works perfectly with those larger varieties, and their many nooks and crannies.

When buying Gorgonzola, you'll see two varieties; Gorgonzola "Dolce" and Gorgonzola "Piccante" or "Piquant." I recommend the "Dolce" for this sauce since it is a younger cheese, and has a milder flavor. The "Piccante" is aged longer, isn't as creamy, and has a much sharper flavor.

Having said that, I encourage you to buy a small piece of both and taste them before committing to one or the other. Crumble each on pieces of Italian bread, and put in a warm oven until it starts to melt. Enjoy!
