Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken
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
