Penne Gorgonzola with Chicken
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
Ingredients
- 1 package (16 ounces) penne pasta
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

- 2 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- 6 to 8 fresh sage leaves, thinly sliced
