Broccoli Gorgonzola image

This is a great side dish & it has become a holiday tradition in my family. It is a perfect match with a prime rib meal. This dish can easily be converted to a main dish by adding fettuccine & beef medallions. Also quite good with shrimp.

I'm allergic to walnuts, so I omitted them from the recipe. The dish was still delicious.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't have time to make something like this on a weeknight.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as good as the picture. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. I think it could use some more seasoning.

This dish is a little heavy for my taste, but it's still very good. I might try using less gorgonzola next time.

I'm not a fan of gorgonzola, so I substituted blue cheese instead. It worked out great!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover broccoli. I always have some broccoli in my fridge, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can make with it.

I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The broccoli is roasted to perfection, and the gorgonzola and walnuts add a touch of richness and creaminess.

This dish is so easy to make, and it's packed with flavor. I love the way the gorgonzola melts and coats the broccoli.

This broccoli gorgonzola dish was a hit! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and the broccoli was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
