• Add cream, Gorgonzola cheese, Parmesan, parsley, salt and pepper and stir until the Gorgonzola melts.
• By this time the pasta should be ready. Drain the pasta in a colander over the sink, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
• Add the pasta to the pan with the cream sauce and stir together. Add in a splash of the pasta cooking water (or more) if you want to loosen up the sauce at all.

TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA AND HERBS AND ROASTED GARLIC AND GRAPE TOMATO PASTA WITH BASIL AND ARUGULA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil for the pasta. Salt water, add pasta and cook to just-shy of al dente. It needs to have a real bite left to it because it will sit in the sauce for 2 minutes later on and continue to cook. Heads up: you will need 2 ladles of starchy cooking water just before draining, about 1 1/2 cups.
• Place the grape tomatoes on a cookie sheet with the garlic. Coat the tomatoes and cracked garlic with 3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and season with lots of salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes.
• Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Rub with a clove of cut garlic. Coat the steaks lightly in extra-virgin olive oil.
• Chop the scallions, whites and greens. Thinly slice the sage and finely chop the parsley. Combine the scallions and herbs with the Gorgonzola crumbles.
• When you are a few minutes away from taking the tomatoes out of the oven, heat a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and caramelize the meat on both sides, a minute and a half per side should do it.
• Take the tomatoes and garlic out of the oven. Turn the oven off. Top the meat with the gorgonzola and transfer the skillet to the oven. Let the meat sit in the hot oven 4 to 5 minutes. The Gorgonzola will melt down over the meat and the steaks will be tender and pale pink inside.
• Remove the roasted garlic from the skins and mash into a paste with the side of your knife. Transfer the garlic paste to the bottom of a pasta bowl. Using a fork, mix the garlic into 2 ladles of starchy pasta cooking water, about 1 1/2 cups. Add the tomatoes to the bowl and mash them with a potato masher until a sauce forms and tomatoes are well combined with garlic broth. Add penne, grated cheese, arugula and basil and toss a minute or 2 to allow the pasta to soak up flavors.
• Serve meat with pasta alongside.

• *****Edit addition 07/19/18*****.
• Here is a new way to cook your lovely piece of meat.
• Heat a well seasoned cast iron skillet in the oven at 450°F When the skillet is hot remove from the oven and place on med-high burner. Let it sit for at least one minute. (There may be smoke). Add the steak, prepared as before, and cook for 1-2 minutes per side. After the sear add 1 tablespoon of butter and place the skillet back into the oven for 4-7 minutes. This duration will depend on you preference in steak and the cut and thickness of the meat. (It is best to temp the meat until you get the hang of it. Remember that carry over heat will move the steak from rare to med-rare, and accordingly med-med well, and so on). When the time is up remove from the oven, place skillet off burner and remove the steak from the pan to rest 5-10 minutes. Cut into thin strips and place back into the skillet and mix well with the oils in the skillet, salt and pepper to taste.

Sauteed it for a minute, poured a few glugs of white wine, and put the lid on it. After steaming it for a minute or two I seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Serve it drizzled with some of the pan drippings you cooked it in.
