TOASTED PECANS WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE PASTA
If you like bleu cheese and pecans, then this recipe is for you. Several years ago I bought a cookbook called "No-Cook Pasta Sauces" by Joie Warner which mysteriously disappeared. My DH just found it behind the bookcase when he started remodeling our kitchen - hurray! Times are a guess-timate until I get my kitchen back.
