Like I already mentioned in a previous post here, I got gorgonzola from Cold Storage and have ever since been trying to think of what exactly to do with it. I was choosing between turning it into pasta sauce or making dessert.
Well, today, after waking up at 1pm, I decided to cook something easy. Decided on pasta using the gorgonzola which is good coz when I looked at the expiry date, I realized I was nearing it.
I checked some recipes online and came up with a mutation of those that I've read.
Trivia: gorgonzola is Italian blue cheese made from unskimmed cow's and/or goat's milk. It reputedly got its name from Gorgonzola, a small town near Milan, Italy were the cheese was first produced in 879. However, apparently other towns are disputing this.
