[Note: I am getting addicted to the cross process effect from picnik. :)]

Since the other day, I have been craving for pasta in white sauce. I kinda had something I wanted to do in mind but I haven't been cooking this week so that's been simmering in the backburner.

Today, I was working late and Teppie called to let me know she was getting the $6 black pepper chicken from Fair Price, TBP. Instant lightbulb! The white sauce that I have been thinking about can finally be turned into reality.

I don't know why but all of a sudden, while I was on my way home, I had a craving for eggplant parmegiano.

I hardly eat vegetables. As a matter of fact, growing up, I didn't eat any but when I got to try this at Italianni's, I fell in love.

Recipe for the NOT So Lazy OFW: Penne with Gorgonzola Sauce

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.
