Just reading the title you should be licking your lips.  This recipe is so easy and delicious, it’s almost a crime. Fair warning though…once you taste this recipe…you will start craving it.  Gorgonzola cheese is the ingredient that takes this recipe from good to over-the-top yummy.

“As long as there’s pasta and Chinese food in the world, I’m okay.” – Michael Chang


I don’t know if you get invited to many potlucks, but this recipe is the perfect dish to bring.  Not only does it taste amazing but it is easy to serve.  This is one of my most requested recipes.

This recipe can easily be a side dish or the main meal with a tossed salad.

Here’s the balsamic vinegar mixed pasta with both cheeses added…
