Ingredients

  • of the strongest Mountain or Valley Gorgonzola cheese you can buy. (I don't care what anyone else says
    an alternative cheese will NOT do!!)
    500 g
  • a few drops of olive oil
    1 unit

  • a pinch of mixed Herbs
    1 unit
  • 1 unit

Method

1
Put on the pasta to cook in plenty of salted water.
10 minutes
2
Add the drops of olive oil to a preferably cast-iron saucepan, and crumble the pieces of Gorgonzola into it, on a VERY low heat. The cheese will melt and become runny, at which point add the ricotta cheese and continue to melt until the whole lot becomes a sauce.
8 minutes
3
If the sauce remains too thick, add a little of the milk and heat up once again.
2 minutes
4
Grate in plenty of nutmeg and add the mixed herbs and leave to stand for a little while.
2 minutes
5
Once the pasta is cooked, drain well and tip into a mixing bowl.
2 minutes
6
Add the Gorgonzola sauce, and using a wooden spoon, mix well.
