CREAMY GORGONZOLA PENNE



Creamy Gorgonzola Penne image

This is one of my all-time favorite recipes for penne pasta with Gorgonzola. It is a bit heavy, but so delish and quick, too! My whole family enjoys this one, even my 3-year-old! You can use fresh spinach if you like, just let it wilt in the sauce. I use frozen spinach for speed. You can also use two 10-ounce packages of spinach if you'd like. Enjoy! Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.
