Gorgonzola Spaghetti
Serves 2-4
This is my partner’s recipe for gorgonzola spaghetti, which they managed to adapt successfully into a vegan form after deciding they would no longer eat animal products. I’m really, really not much of a cook (though they are!), but this is a really, really easy and tasty comfort meal that we can both make and enjoy.
Ingredients:
1 package of spaghetti
1 wedge of either gorgonzola cheese OR Honestly Tasty Veganzola Blue “Cheese” (you could try your luck with another vegan option but I can’t guarantee it’ll melt well)
Butter or plant-based butter substitute
About 2 TBL of unsweetened yogurt or creme fraiche (or vegan substitute, you get the idea)
Salt and black pepper
Instructions:
Cut the gorgonzola into small cubes.
Prepare the spaghetti according to the instructions on the package. Drain the spaghetti and put the drained spaghetti in a pot over a burner at low heat.
Mix the cubes of gorgonzola gradually into the spaghetti, along with a generous chunk of butter. Stir continuously until the cheese and butter have melted into a creamy sauce and all the pasta is evenly coated.
Turn off the burner and mix in a big spoonful of yogurt/creme fraiche to cool it down and add creaminess to the sauce.
Add salt and black pepper to taste.
