Pasta With Gorgonzola and Arugula image

I'm a quick and easy recipe girl and this one was a winner for me. Serve with a salad and crusty bread for an easy weekday meal. Oh, and if you're lactose intolerant, take a lactaid pill before enjoying this dish. I know this from experience.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons butter
1/4 lb gorgonzola
6 ounces arugula
1 lb pasta (ziti or farfalle are good choices for this recipe)
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook until the pasta is tender but not mushy.
  • While the water is heating, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat; add the gorgonzola and cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese melts. Keep this warm while the pasta is cooking.
  • Tear the arugula into pieces, but not too small.
  • Remove and reserve a little of the pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and toss it with the arugula and the cheese mixture, adding a bit of the water if the mixture seems dry.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding lots of black pepper (that's the way we like it) and then serve.
