This is a pasta with great flavor! Gorgonzola cheese isn’t a cheese that you typically see in a pasta recipe, but it adds so much. If you are a lover of blue cheese and gorgonzola, you will love it! You can also sub feta cheese, if you’d like. It’s not a super rich pasta recipe because there is no cream sauce. The pasta is tossed in a broth-based mixture of mushroom, tomato and spices with the addition of the cheese too.
Ingredients needed:
olive oil mushrooms dried basil, thyme and oregano crushed red pepper tomatoes chicken broth garlic fresh parsley salt and pepper penne pasta crumbled gorgonzola cheese

Change it up!
If you would prefer to make this a cream sauce pasta recipe, substitute heavy whipping cream for the broth. I’d probably add more cream than broth, as needed. The addition of a splash of white wine would be great too. If you don’t care for mushrooms, try using zucchini instead.
