2. Cooking Directions
- In a medium stainless-steel pot, combine the broth and wine and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cook until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to moderately low and add the Gorgonzola, cream, and butter. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
- In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until almost done, about 9 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and bring back to a boil. Cook until the broccoli and pasta are just done, about 3 minutes longer. Drain.
- Toss the fettuccine and broccoli with the Gorgonzola sauce, Parmesan, and parsley. Serve with extra Parmesan.

Notes:
Note
Variations: Try the sauce and pasta with asparagus, green beans, or just fresh herbs instead of the broccoli.
Wine
Strong-flavored broccoli and Gorgonzola are a challenge to match with wine. A Fiano di Avellino's intense taste can take them on, and its acidity will cut the unctuousness of the sauce.

If you love cheese, you'll love this recipe
meliiiiinda - February 26, 2007 02:03:23 PM PSTThis dish was delicious, but incredibly heavy. The cheese just coats your mouth with each bite. I made it for just me and my husband and there was soooo much left over because we couldn't eat all that much of it. If you're making this for two I would definitely just make half of what the recipe calls for.

Traci H - March 29, 2007 08:28:59 AM PSTI don't usually like blue cheese, but we loved it! I added chicken that I simmered with some of the wine and chicken broth.

Anne N - April 30, 2007 04:31:53 PM PSTwhich would cut down (slightly) on the calories and fat. I would try using fat free 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream. Big difference!
