Not Exactly Alfredo Sauce, But Just As Good

I love cheese. There's no surprise there. I also love Alfredo sauce, but sometimes it needs a little kick. I found this sauce was just the thing - Gorgonzola Sauce.

Here's what you need:

your favorite cooked pasta (I used linguine)

1 tbsp butter or margarine

1 1/2 cups whipping/heavy cream

1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth (I used some left over white zin.)

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (2 ounces)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Here's what you do:

1. Cook the pasta to your liking.


2. While it is cooking, melt the butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat (I had to use low because I have a gas stove). After it is melted, add the garlic and stir until it has a golden hue.


3. Stir in the whipping cream, wine, and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to thicken and then reduce the heat.


4. Stir in the cheese and cook until it is melted.


5. Toss the pasta and the sauce together.


6. Top with walnuts and any extra cheese if you please.

The sauce has a good taste to it and is not as bland as some Alfredo sauces can be. I served this with small bruschette rounds and Wegmans' store made bruschette.

Enjoy!
