Penne and Artichoke Hearts With Gorgonzola Sauce image

The reworking of a recipe I got from someone else that I tweaked beyond all recognition... My serving size is pretty small because I like to enjoy pasta as a course rather than as the huge main focus of a meal. This is also a brilliant sauce to serve over gnocchi, if you feel so inclined, and I often do.

This dish was a big disappointment. The sauce was bland and the artichoke hearts were tough.

The sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not a big fan of gorgonzola, but I thought this dish was still very good. The artichoke hearts and penne were cooked perfectly.

I added some chopped spinach to the sauce for extra栄養価. It was a great way to sneak in some extra veggies.

This dish was easy to make and very tasty. I used a store-bought gorgonzola sauce to save time. It was still delicious!

I'm not a big fan of artichokes, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the artichoke hearts were tender and not overpowering.

This dish was a hit with my family! The gorgonzola sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the artichoke hearts added a nice touch of texture. The penne was cooked perfectly al dente. Will definitely be making this again!
