  • Add vegetables to your pasta. Vegetables add flavor, color, and nutrients to your pasta. Some good vegetables to add to gorgonzola shrimp pasta include broccoli, asparagus, zucchini, and spinach.
  • Serve your pasta immediately. Gorgonzola shrimp pasta is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will prevent the pasta from getting soggy or overcooked.
