Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce (And Peak Season Tomatoes)
When cherry tomatoes are bursting off the vines, this Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce is exactly the kind of easy, last-minute dish I love to throw together.
Gorgonzola in pasta might sound heavy, but when it’s paired with juicy cherry tomatoes and fresh spinach, it turns surprisingly light and vibrant.
The cheese melts into a creamy sauce that clings to every bite without feeling too rich.
It’s one of those easy throw-together meals. Perfect for last-minute company or when you just want something comforting without the effort.
