Are you a blue cheese lover?I’ve got to admit, I’m not. So when started getting lots of requests for Gorgonzola pasta on our YouTube channel, I put it off for a while.
Chris however, does like a bit of blue cheese every now and then, so he finally talked me into it. And I’m surprised to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! It doesn’t taste like moldy horrible blue cheese at all!Some kind of miracle happens in the pan which results in a beautifully rich, creamy sauce that coats the pasta perfectly.
I got Chris to taste test during the recipe testing stage, so I could do my taste test on camera for our YouTube video. I was totally ready to confess I didn’t like it, so I was utterly surprised that it’s so good. I’m a convert. Check out the video to see my reaction!
👩🍳PRO TIP Save a little of the starchy water from cooking the pasta so you can add it in if you want to loosen up the sauce a little. The starch in the water ensures the sauce will still be lovely and creamy and will help the sauce to cling to the pasta.
This is a very simple recipe, where the sauce is made whilst the pasta is cooking.Simply soften some finely chopped shallot in a pan with a little butter. Add in minced garlic, then double (heavy) cream, plus chopped-up gorgonzola, grated parmesan, salt, and pepper. I also like to add in some freshly chopped parsley.
Give it a stir together, then add in the cooked, drained pasta, along with a splash of the pasta cooking water, and stir again until the sauce coats the pasta.
Serve it with a little extra parsley, some black pepper, and a sprinkling of toasted walnuts. Perfection!
Is the bread a little too much? Carb on carb is my favourite, so I’m totally for it 😋

I think this dish works great as a full meal in its own right, however, if you fancy a change, I think it would be great with the addition of crispy bacon lardons/pancetta, fresh peas, lightly steamed asparagus, or softened buttered leeks.
