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

This was pretty good, but I think next time, I will put half the cheese in and double the wine

Truly, this recipe is nothing more than a glorified mac & cheese, with chicken added! It is flavorful. I used more wine instead of chicken broth. I wasn't going to open a can of chicken broth for only 1/4 cup! That's just wasteful! The recipe was worth a try, but I would not make it again.

Absolutely amazing. Love this recipe as does my entire family, even the kids. Made it as-is with no changes or substitutions -there's no need tweak this one. Delicious beyond measure. Don't skip the pamigianno-reggiano cheese, it's more expensive but is an incredible final touch. Warm up some garlic bread and toss a salad and you'll impress anyone at your table.

My husband is a blue cheese fan, so I was thrilled to find this recipe! It's delicious!

I have made this many times and it's always wonderful. Does not do well as a leftover, though, even with extra cream added when re-warming.

My fiancee and I make a new rush for dinner every Monday and are we glad we chose this one. Absolutely delicious! We changed things up a bit and used Goat cheese instead...another great choice! Plus we made garlic bread. This dish is simple and very yummy. Its a little on the heavier side but its such a treat!

My husband and son loved this. Could not find gorgonzola cheese here so I used mozarella instead. Had great flavor. On my favorite recipe list.

I did like this recipe and would make it again, but...I used half the gorgonzola and more parmesan in the actual sauce. I also used just half the sage. It was just...too gorgonzola-y! I know, I know, it's called Penne Gorgonzola, but yikes! Maybe next time even less gorgonzola...

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!
