A really simple, yet decadent pasta dish made with easy gorgonzola cream sauce, all topped off with fresh parsley and crunchy toasted walnuts. We’re using an easy shortcut for a lovely creamy sauce.
This really is rich, comforting bowl food, and it’s ready in 15 minutes!
Free printable recipe is available on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/gorgonzola-pasta/
Ingredients:
400 g (14oz) penne pasta (or your favourite pasta shapes)
2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 banana shallot peeled and finely chopped (or use ½ small onion)
2 cloves minced garlic
150 ml (½ cup + 2tbsp) double (heavy) cream
125 g (4 ½ oz) Gorgonzola cheese crumbled or roughly chopped
2 tbsp finely grated (shredded) parmesan
3 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/8 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
To Serve:
1 tbsp finely grated (shredded) parmesan
1 pinch black pepper
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
2 tbsp chopped toasted walnuts (simply dry-fry them in a frying pan for 1-2 minutes until lightly browned).
Instructions:
1. Cook the pasta in boiling water as per the cooking instructions, until al dente.
2. Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the chopped shallot and fry for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
3. Add the minced garlic and cook for a further 1 minute.
4. Add cream, Gorgonzola cheese, Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper and stir until the Gorgonzola melts.
5. By this time the pasta should be ready. Drain the pasta in a colander over the sink, reserving ½ cup of the cooking water.
6. Add the pasta to the pan with the cream sauce and stir together. Add in a splash of the pasta cooking water (or more) if you want to loosen up the sauce at all.
7. Divide the pasta between plates. Top with Parmesan, black pepper, fresh parsley and toasted walnuts, then serve.

Spolier alert! I really liked it. 😋 Did I do the gorgonzola pasta recipe justice?
I made this last night. I did add chives for greenery and mushrooms as well and it was delicious.
You have to make it feel delicious not disgusting.. like you said. !!! This is the only video I don’t like of you and that is cuz you make the recipe feel disgusting.
I’m a very big fan of you and your recipe. All your videos are amazing.
That cheese always works well when cooked I find. Large mushrooms with blue cheese and bacon is great as well. I'm going to try your one tonight thanks
Can i be considered for Chris’s job should he get the tin tack please?
i will try this dish
Great recipe can't wait to try this, thank you for all your recipes and may God bless you and your family.
Gorgonzola cheese smells like dirty feet. Not a fan.
Why I can't find panna in UK? 🙁
In Italy you would add panna in there (my Grandma used to add tiny bits of prosciutto cotto too). Unfortunately cream is not the same…
Thanks for sharing a fun recipe that was…dubious! 😊
I don't like blue cheese either
😂 you wimp with that cheese 🤦🏼♂️
Thank you for a really awesome channel love replicating these dishes!
You are darling!
Just started cooking as a new hobby..hands down by far my fave cooking channel
It looks delicious! I would add sauteed mushrooms and toasted pinenuts.
I really love your channel and made a lot of your recipes, loved all of them. But … i also really really don't like blue cheese as you don't, but my wife does very much. So, i decided to make it for her and because you liked the dish too, i was expecting i could eat it but had no high hopes for really liking it. But … what a surprise, because i LOVED. it! It was so creamy and the sharp taste of the blue cheese is totally replaced by a soft luxurious taste. It could very well be my favorite pasta dish so far, right alongside a very traditional Bolognese. This was very easy and quick to make, but the taste was beautiful and complex. Penne was also the perfect carrier for that rich sauce. Thank you for this recipe Nikki, and i can't wait to see what you come up with next. Love from the Netherlands.
Miss Nikki, Minton here from N. C. Very good your honesty of this dish and preparation. Saved this video I have.
Absolutely love your channel , you so deserve more subscribers . Tbh I’m not really a fan of blue cheeses , but strangely I tried Shropshire Blue & I was hooked . There’s a blue out there for everyone .
That is certainly delicious! It's also interesting how you kill the amazing gorgonzola with garlic. Gorgonzola and garlic are two dictators who do not work well together. They kill each other.
OMG… why parmesan with gorgonzola???
You ruin amazing ingredients by mixing them into a mess.
A version of this was the first non bolognese pasta sauce I ever made! I did use more garlic, and vidalia onion instead of shallot, but my reaction was, like yours, a pleasant surprise. Since then I have sometimes added chicken with great success as well. I love your channel and your recipes. Thank you so much for sharing them with us!
Cooked like a pro, I add a bit of truffle oil and it does wonders, sure chilli oil would be a good alternative too.
Blue cheese was invented by the devil 😈 it is not good bad bad bad 😱 the smell is bad bad bad a devil's cheese 🧀😈
👍
Very very yummy 😋
I made this tonight and it was delicious, out of this world and my family Loved it too thank you so much. Gonna make the ravioli tomorrow xo
I really love your channel. It feels like these recipes are actually made for a family as opposed to most channels that's "family recipes" are just regular recipes that they made a lot of.
I don't like strong cheese either. Don't think I will be trying it any time soon as hubby doesn't like any cheese stronger than mozzarella. 🙂 Lucky it was a nice surprise for you. Enjoy!
Love it…such an honest video…the boyfriend and I have literally planned out the menus for the next few weeks using your book and some of the current Kitchen Sanctuary staples we love.
I’m on a non fibre diet this week. I have some Gorgonzola in the fridge and love blue cheese, so can’t wait to try this tonight.
Ditch the cream and orange pasta and mix the Gorgonzola with real pasta and pasta water and maybe experiment with some egg yolks using a carbonara technique.
Definitely no garlic OR PEAS!
It's banging ❤
Super! ❤💛
family friendly.. and then such a small pot of pasta made me lough 😀
Food are never disgusting 😊
You should have millions of subscribers by now. Am shocked. Am been looking through your videos and they make me hungry. I hope they feature your videos on food network channel. New sub here 🙌👍
Goop cheese 🧀 food.
I was always sceptical of the gorgonzola, never wanted to try anything moldy, but I ordered takeout once and I'm glad I did, and tonight I tried to make the sauce similar to yours with gnocchi, when I first put it in the cream it smelled *not so nice*, but when it all came together it was delicious 😁
