Linguine with Gorgonzola Walnut Sauce Recipe

Written by Published on Updated on January 26, 2021 in Lunch, Main dishes, Mediterranean cuisine, Pasta, Sauces, Vegetarian

It was time to leave Soup recipes for a while and move on to PASTAAAAA!!  This Linguine with Gorgonzola Walnut Sauce Recipe is for those who love sweet and salty.  One Blue Cheese that I am quite fond of is the Gorgonzola Blue Cheese.  Gorgonzola Blue Cheese is a buttery and salty blue cheese that I add to my omelets, rice, and pasta sauces.  If you do eat Gorgonzola then you know that this is a salty blue cheese, so to reduce the saltiness I sometimes like to add fruit, apples to be exact.  The apple of choice is usually Granny Smith Apples I just love the tangy sharp taste of these apples.  Do you?

I remember the first time I added fruit and nuts into my salad, my father in law was shocked.  I asked him if he had ever tried something similar.  He responded by saying “fruits and nuts are not for salads,”.   My father in law is a curious man so he went and grabbed a fork and tried a bit of my salad.  He did say that he liked it but I could tell from his facial expression Nooo Nooppee Nooo wayyyy!!  I  do understand that most might not enjoy this sauce because of the apple, but how will you know if you do like it if you don’t give it a try. 🙂

Just a small note I prefer using Linguine for this recipe but you can use any type of pasta.

Have a great week and stay safe peeps!!

Easy Blue Cheese Pasta Sauce

Welcome to a small corner of my Greek Heritage. Growing up in New York from Greek parents, was a challenge of its own...but the traditional food, tastes and aromas that my mother cooked always travelled me back to Greece. My mother is a wonderful cook, our house would always have that smell of home cooked food. I remember very clearly that we were only allowed fast food, once a week, that was a huge day for myself and my brother. Jumping up and down in the back car seat, laughing, just being kids. It is true that we all like to eat different foods, taste, smell, even try food that looks different than our regular meals at home and I think that is so natural. In my teens, I was not really into cooking, I enjoyed my magazines after school, listening to music, and just taking a breather. There were times that I would glance at some of my mom's recipes, more out of curiosity than to actually try to cook them. At that time I did not realise that cooking would become my passion one day. Slowly, I would start to look into my mom's recipes a bit more each day and I started to find it interesting as a hobby. Each month I would go into our neighborhood bookstore and pick up my monthly book, until one day I decided to stroll over into the cooking section. That summer was the first time I actually bought a cooking magazine....and I loved it. Cooking and baking started out as a hobby, but now after many years it is my passion. Exploring the cuisines, the spices, the oils, the scents, the variety of smells and tastes that exist. It was and still is an amazing journey without limits. So, come along with me on this adventure, and I hope you enjoy my recipes. Sophie
