Pasta Gorgonzola

I know, I know I haven't been blogging lately!

I have been busy: working, looking for gasoline

for my car, hanging out with friends, going out

to eat, attending football games, traveling to

see a baby be christened and napping!

But tonight I have a moment so........

There is a local restaurants that serves

a pasta dish called Chicken Gorgonzola.

I 've tried to create this dish a few times

now but haven't been able to get it exactly

right.

Here is the latest version of the dish

minus the chicken but plus a few healthy

vegetables. But of course keeping the best

part of the dish - gorgonzola cheese!

Pasta Gorgonzola

4 ounces uncooked fusilli
1/2 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/2 cup of half-and-half
4-6 tablespoons Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

salt and pepper to taste

kale, chopped and precooked

chopped, cherry tomato

Grated parmesan for the top

This was a great dish.

The sauce is a little heavy but the

veggies add a light touch.
