GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE
Autumn is the season for rich, creamy sauces, and I'm pretty sure you're going to be shocked at just how easy this one is. When your cream is reduced, your sauce is practically done. I like serving this with a stuffed pasta like tortellini or ravioli, topped with diced apple and crunchy toasted walnuts.

Steps:
- Place a heavy skillet over medium heat. Pour cream into skillet, bring to a simmer, and cook cream until it reduces by half, about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
- Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Pour dried ravioli into boiling water and cook, stirring occasionally, until pasta is tender, 16 to 18 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- Gently fold cooked ravioli into cream sauce and turn heat to low. Mix in Gorgonzola cheese, stirring gently until melted. If sauce is too thick, thin it with a little pasta cooking water.
- Stir in 2 tablespoons parsley and Parmesan cheese. Transfer to a serving bowl and sprinkle with diced apple, walnuts, and 1 teaspoon parsley.

PASTA WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE AND RADICCHIO
This rich and flavorful sauce is the perfect match for bitter radicchio. It is incredibly easy to make and goes well with any type of (preferably fresh) pasta. My favorite pasta to have this with is gnocchi. The light and fluffy potato pasta goes well with the rich sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

GORGONZOLA SAUCE FOR PASTA
This is absolutely FABULOUS but not for the faint hearted. Full bodied flavor but do not look at the calories. Creme fraiche can be kept in the fridge for up to a week so this is a make ahead, quick recipe at the time that you want to serve it. You can substitute Blue cheese but it is not as full bodied.

PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE
This is NOT a low fat recipe, but it is oh-so delicious when you are in the mood for a treat. I made it up when I had some pancetta, heavy cream and gorgonzola on hand (three things I almost never have in the house). I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use more or less gorgonzola depending on how strong you want the flavor.
