Thu Nov 01 09:02:57 -0700 2007 11407 JoanN 1 3113085 Tortellini with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce (p. 92/Anniversary Edition) This was so easy, and so good. Another recipe I'll be making again. I had a nice wedge of Mountain Gorgonzola I had received in a gift basket and it was delicious in this dish. Simply reduce some dry white vermouth (I used Noilly Pratt), add heavy cream, fresh grated nutmeg, and black pepper, and then stir in the the Gorgonzola and some grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. I cooked the pasta (Barilla 3-cheese tortellini), and then simmered it in the warm sauce for a few minutes. I served it as part of a decadent dinnner - my husband didn't want any salad or vegetable, just a steak with a side of this tortellini, rounded out with a nice red wine - Oriel Il Gattopardo (Nero d'Avola) Sat Nov 10 11:18:13 -0800 2007 3085912 10271 Rubee 2 3113097 Forgot the pic Sat Nov 10 11:23:29 -0800 2007 3113085 10271 Rubee 3 3113162 I think your husband and I would get along really well! ;-) Looks decadent--and delicious!

The authors mention this is "our unorthodox but delicious version of a Chinese classic", using the spicy sesame mayonnaise on p. 177. http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/456233#4990498 I tossed the mayo with leftover cooked spaghetti, scallions, and red and yellow bell peppers. I also added more chili oil and sprinkled with fresh cilantro and toasted black sesame seeds. It's been a great lunch for the work week, and I'm finishing the last of it today.
