ARUGULA SALAD WITH FRIED GORGONZOLA
Little fried balls of Gorgonzola turn a boring green salad into a mouthful of joy. For convenience, you can prepare and chill the cheese balls overnight so they are very firm before you fry them. To test the temperature of your oil, drop a small piece of bread into the pot. If it sinks to the bottom, the oil is not hot enough; if it rises slowly to the top and turns golden brown, it's just right for frying.

Steps:
- Blend the Gorgonzola cheese in a food processor until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the work bowl occasionally. Break the egg into a shallow dish and beat lightly to blend; put the bread crumbs in a second shallow dish. Using 1 rounded teaspoon of cheese for each, form the cheese into eighteen 1-inch balls. Working in batches, coat the balls with the beaten egg then with the bread crumbs. Arrange the balls on a small baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour or overnight.
- Whisk the lemon zest, lemon juice, and garlic in a medium bowl to blend. Gradually whisk in the 1/3 cup of oil. Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper.
- Heat 2 inches of oil in a small, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Working in batches, add the balls to the hot oil and fry just until golden brown, about 20 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the fried balls to paper towels to drain.
- Toss the arugula in a large bowl with enough dressing to coat the leaves. Season the salad to taste with salt and pepper. Mound the salad on plates and top each serving with a few of the hot fried Gorgonzola balls. Serve immediately.
GRILLED FIG & ARUGULA SALAD WITH GORGONZOLA TOASTS
From Cooking Light's special on Monticello-inspired recipes. This looks like it's too fancy and complicated for me to make, but looks delicious if someone else would make it for me! ;) Or if you have an actual grill; I live in the ghetto and could put a holey trash can lid over the stove. I don't know what "peasant bread" is but I assume it'd be a small baguette type of bread. I'm not a fan of balsamic vinegar, I'd probably use red wine vinegar or a different kind of dressing, but posting as is for those who like it. BTW, you'll need at least 6 grilling skewers for this. Probably strong 8" metal ones that could pierce figs. I wonder if I could make this work with a portable George Foreman grill!

PASTA WITH GORGONZOLA AND ARUGULA
The main characters here are Gorgonzola and arugula, the first of which appears in a number of different pasta sauces, all unsurpassed for their creaminess. But in many instances, to me at least, Gorgonzola-based sauces tend to be too slick and rich. This makes the addition of the fresh-tasting spicy arugula from the supermarket even more welcome. Not only does it provide a little bit of crunch, but its odd version of heat also gives a bit of an edge to what could otherwise be a soft, almost insipid sauce. Don't forget to finish up with a few hearty cranks of the pepper mill. A full teaspoon for the entire dish is not too much. (The original recipe called for 1/4 pound of Gorgonzola and 2 tablespoons of butter, but after many readers commented that the dish needed more sauce, we tested it and agreed. The figures you see below are for doubling the sauce, but if you prefer it the old way, just halve the Gorgonzola and butter.)

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Meanwhile, melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add Gorgonzola and cook, stirring frequently, until cheese melts. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
- Tear arugula into bits, or use a scissors to cut it. Pieces should not be too small. Cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Remove and reserve a little cooking water, then drain pasta and toss it with arugula and cheese mixture, adding a bit of water if mixture seems dry.
- Taste and add seasoning. Dish should take plenty of black pepper. Serve.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
- To prevent the arugula from wilting, wash and dry it thoroughly before using.
- If you don't have any gorgonzola cheese, you can substitute another type of blue cheese, such as Roquefort or Stilton.
- To make the fried gorgonzola, be sure to use a non-stick skillet and cook the cheese over medium heat until it is golden brown and melted.
- Serve the salad immediately after it is assembled, while the fried gorgonzola is still warm and crispy.
