Pasta and Pancetta and Peas in a Gorgonzola Sauce image

Good and creamy, this is an impressive pasta dinner that comes together very easy. I used large rigatoni which allowed for ample cheese sauce coverage. Expect big smiles on everyone's face when they dig in.

This pasta dish was a bit bland for my taste. The sauce was not very flavorful, and the pancetta and peas didn't add much flavor either. I think I would have preferred a more flavorful sauce.
