RECIPE BACKSTORY
A recipe for those that love Bleu Cheese... This is a great luncheon pasta dish, unless you are into eating light, this is phenomenal with a side of sliced pears and prosciutto.
If you are having issues finding Docelatte you can use regular aged gorgonzola, it will just be a little stronger in flavor.
