Penne with Gorgonzola and Mascarpone
 

INGREDIENTS:To serve 4:

  • 14 ounces (400 g) penne
  • 5 ounces (120 g) Gorgonzola Dolce (the milder Gorgonzola)
  • 3 ounces (80 g) Mascarpone (a mild, very creamy cheese)

PREPARATION:

While it's heating, remove the rind from the gorgonzola and break the cheese up into little bits. Whirl the cheese in a blender, and when it is creamy add the mascarpone and the butter.
 
Season lightly with salt and pepper, whir again, and then add the cream and vodka. Check seasoning and lightly whir again.

Cook the pasta, gently stir the sauce into it, and serve at once.
 
 variation:
