Pappardelle with Gorgonzola is a delicious Italian pasta dish that features wide ribbon-like noodles (pappardelle) paired with a creamy Gorgonzola cheese sauce. Here’s a simple recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- 12 oz (about 350g) pappardelle pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions:
- Cook the Pappardelle:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Cook the pappardelle pasta according to the package instructions until al dente.

- Prepare the Sauce:
- In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer.
- Add the Cheeses:
- Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses to the cream, stirring continuously until the cheeses are melted and the sauce is smooth.
