Gorgonzola Cream Sauce With Angel-Hair Pasta
- 3 quarts water
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups low-fat buttermilk
- 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 18 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 pound fresh angel-hair pasta
- 1 cup fresh or frozen peas
- 1/4 cup toasted, chopped walnuts
- 4 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano
- Bring water to boil in covered pot.
- Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of buttermilk to make a smooth paste.
- In heavy-bottom saucepan, combine buttermilk-cornstarch mixture, remaining buttermilk, Gorgonzola and nutmeg.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, to melt cheese and thicken mixture.
- Just as buttermilk mixture begins to thicken, stir in peas and cook just long enough to heat through.
- When water boils, stir in pasta and cook according to package directions, about 45 seconds; drain.
- Stir in walnuts and serve over pasta.
- Serve with Parmigiano Reggiano.
