I love a nice, decadent plate of creamy pasta, like this cheesy gorgonzola option. Plus, I love how simple and quick it is to make. In this dish, BelGioioso’s CreamyGorg is the star, while BelGioioso’s Parmesan plays a supporting role. The CreamyGorg has a balanced, mild flavor and a velvety texture that’s perfect for making pasta sauce. The combination of nutty Parmesan cheese and the distinct gorgonzola flavor makes this creamy sauce a weeknight winner. When it’s time to cook your pasta, make sure you add enough salt to the water so that it tastes like the ocean. It may seem like a lot of salt, but doing so is crucial to enhance not only the taste of the pasta itself, but for the overall dish as you’ll add more reserved pasta water when making the sauce. Pro tip: If you can’t serve the pasta immediately and it starts to dry out, you can add in a little of the reserved pasta water and toss everything altogether over medium heat before serving.
