| Pasta

Ingredients

• 500 g of the strongest Mountain or Valley Gorgonzola cheese you can buy. (I don't care what anyone else says, an alternative cheese will NOT do!!)
• a few drops of olive oil
• 150 g ricotta cheese
• a pinch of mixed Herbs
• grated nutmeg
• zest of one lemon
• on standby - 1 glass of fresh milk
• penne or your favourite pasta (though a "ridged" pasta is the best for this recipe!)
• water

Procedure

1. Put on the pasta to cook in plenty of salted water.
2. Add the drops of olive oil to a preferably cast-iron saucepan, and crumble the pieces of Gorgonzola into it, on a VERY low heat. The cheese will melt and become runny, at which point add the ricotta cheese and continue to melt until the whole lot becomes a sauce.
3. If the sauce remains too thick, add a little of the milk and heat up once again.
4. Grate in plenty of nutmeg and add the mixed herbs and leave to stand for a little while.
5. Once the pasta is cooked, drain well and tip into a mixing bowl.
6. Add the Gorgonzola sauce, and using a wooden spoon, mix well.

Serve, as with ALL pasta sauces, immediately.

Buon Appetito, Wikibookians !!
