FASTA PASTA GORGONZOLA WITH SPINACH, RED PEPPERS AND PINE NUTS
Chances are you have all of the ingredients for this pasta dish on hand, in your refrigerator and cupboard. That's how it came together in my kitchen, and what a felicitous combination of flavors it turned out to be. Plus it goes together in a half hour or less. Be sure to use a milder blue cheese so it doesn't end up overwhelming the other flavors. You could substitute broccoli for the spinach, and you could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish (use vegetable broth instead of chicken). This goes well with a dry white or medium-bodied red wine.
