Ziti with Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce
Ingredients
2 TB Smart Balance spread
1/2 cup crumbled low-fat Gorgonzola cheese
1/2 cup half and half
1 lb whole wheat pasta (ziti, penne, etc...)
1/2 cup freshly grated low-fat Parmesan cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Melt Smart Balance spread in a 1 or 2 quart saucepan over low heat. While it is melting, put the Gorgonzola in a small bowl and mash it with a fork, gradually adding the milk. Make sure it is well combined (does not have to be smooth) When the butter is melted, add the cheese-half and half mixture and continue to cook, stirring and mashing occasionally.
Meanwhile, salt the boiling water and cook pasta until it is done. (tender but firm) Drain it and mix with sauce. Add extra parmesan and salt, if desired.
