Pasta butterflies with gorgonzola

2 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
3 quarts Water
1 tablespoon Butter
¼ pounds Gorgonzola cheese or Roquefort cheese
1 Ripe tomato
1 cup Heavy cream
½ cup Beef broth; canned
Fresh ground black pepper
1 cup Farfalle or rigatoni

Directions

Fill a large saucepan with water and place over high heat to boil for pasta.

Melt butter in a saute pan or skillet over low heat, adding cheese and mashing with a fork (cheese will melt). Slice tomato into pan, crushing with a fork as it cooks; pour in cream and let boil; lower heat to simmer 4 minutes. Pour in broth and simmer 3 minutes; season to taste with pepper.

Add pasta to rapidly boiling water and cook about 4 minutes. Drain pasta into a colander and pour into a warm bowl; mix with hot sauce and serve.

NOTES : Butterfly pasta with sauce of melted gorgonzola, tomato, cream and broth. There is a cozy, small hotel in Milano, with each room decorated in a charming fashion; it has its own good restaurant where eating is an unqualified pleasure. I remember well the large platters of the traditional Milanese saffron risotto and beautifully presented dishes of rich pasta concoctions with white truffles and wild mushrooms; I found this delicious pasta and sauce there.
