Yvonne's Gorgonzola Cream Pasta
Start the pasta water and
cook pasta once water boils. Steam the asparagus. In a non stick medium
sauce pan begin warming the half & half at a simmer temperature.
Slice the portabellas into thin bite size pieces, discarding the stem
and pithy center, and add to the cream. Keep the sauce at a low boil
and stir frequently so it does not stick. Add the gorgonzola cheese
a little at a time until it seems smooth. Add the dash of cayenne.
Once the mushrooms are the sauce will take on a light brown color.
Begin adding the parmesan cheese a little at a time, so it does not
get lumpy. When the sauce is still hot, it will not seem thick, but
will thicken as it cools on the pasta. Strain pasta and put in a large
pasta bowl. Add the sauce and stir well. Add the asparagus and stir
to cover with sauce and distribute throughout the pasta. Garnish with
the pine nuts and serve.
