GORGONZOLA PEPPER & SAUSAGE PASTA
This recipe sort of came about from things I had lying around the kitchen one night. It's a staple meal we make regularly as our pasta vice. You can use hot italian sausage if you like, but I prefer the sweet for the flavor. Cook the pasta to your liking, I like mine just beyond al-dente, and my vegetables crisp, not soggy or mushy. Enjoy!

GORGONZOLA AND PROSCIUTTO TORTELLINI SALAD
There's an amazing Italian grocery store near me, which has some amazing pasta salads. They are not cheap, but they are delicious. My favorite one is the Gorgonzola and prosciutto pasta salad. This is my clone of it and it tastes exactly like theirs when tasted side by side.

Steps:
- Slice prosciutto into strips that are 1 inch long and 1/4 inch wide.
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in tortellini and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tortellini float to the top and the filling is hot, about 3 minutes. Drain and cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process.
- Mix oil, vinegar, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper together in a jar. Put the lid on the jar and shake into an emulsion.
- Place tortellini, prosciutto, Gorgonzola cheese, bell peppers, and onion in a large bowl. Pour the vinaigrette over the top and toss lightly with 2 large spoons. Enjoy immediately or allow the flavors to meld for 3 to 4 hours in the refrigerator.

FASTA PASTA GORGONZOLA WITH SPINACH, RED PEPPERS AND PINE NUTS
Chances are you have all of the ingredients for this pasta dish on hand, in your refrigerator and cupboard. That's how it came together in my kitchen, and what a felicitous combination of flavors it turned out to be. Plus it goes together in a half hour or less. Be sure to use a milder blue cheese so it doesn't end up overwhelming the other flavors. You could substitute broccoli for the spinach, and you could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish (use vegetable broth instead of chicken). This goes well with a dry white or medium-bodied red wine.
