Ingredients
- 400 g penne pasta
- 150 g Gorgonzola cheese
- 400 g canned diced tomatoes
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 50 g Parmesan cheese (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
Step 2
While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 3
Add the garlic, finely minced, and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Step 4
Pour the canned diced tomatoes into the skillet. Stir and let simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to break down slightly.
Step 5
Stir in the heavy cream, and season the sauce with salt and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 6
Add the Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled into smaller pieces, to the skillet. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
Step 7
If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Step 8
Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the sauce. Allow the pasta to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
Step 9
Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and, if desired, grated Parmesan cheese.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy!
