The winner of America's Best Loved Recipe Contest, this rich, creamy pasta dish is a snap to throw together for a weeknight meal but special enough for company. You can substitute another cheese for the Gorgonzola if you like. —George Schroeder, Port Murray, New Jersey

I thought this was really good but I didn't make it exactly as written. I didn't have chicken stock so I used 1/4 cup water and only had 1 cup gorgonzola. I used only 5 smaller sage leaves. I would make it again the same way I did.

This recipe had an amazig flavor. I am not a fan of any type of blue cheese, but this was absolutely delicious. I didn't have chicken broth on hand and I forgot to buy it at the store, so I added a little more wine and it worked out perfectly! The flavor was amazing and my boyfriend loved it. I will defintely make this again and it's also a great dish to make for guests!

I don't see how this recipe won any awards.I made this as written, but it was very bland. Nothing exciting about it. Two cups of Gorgonzola is way too much and the sage leaves too much of a "Thanksgiving" taste.Considering how they have changed this magazine (for the worse), I am not surprised that the quality of the recipes has deteriorated as well. I will stick with Everyday Food recipes from now on.

I give this 4 stars, but I did alter it a little. We used 1/2 and 1/2 instead of cream and boiled it a little longer, but it worked out very nicely. Also we used only 4 oz of bleu cheese and added some mozz cheese instead of the full amount of gorgonzola. The amount requested in the recipe is way too strong for my taste. I'd rather have the bleu cheese be a hint than cover all the other flavors.

I toned down the Gorgonzola cheese a bit, but this was an excellent recipe!
