INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add the pasta, and cook until
just tender following the package's directions. Meanwhile, combine the
cream, sherry (if using), and 5 oz of the gorgonzola in a medium saucepan
and stir constantly over low heat until the cheese is almost melted, about
5 min. Drain the pasta when done, return it to its pot, and add the cheese
sauce. Stir over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2
min. Add pepper to taste. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish.
Combine the bread crumbs and nuts and sprinkle the topping over the pasta.
Dot iwth the remaining 1 oz gorgonzola. If you like, brown the casserole
under a broiler very close to the flame until crunchy and browned, about 2
min.
Notes: Can easily be doubled to serve as a main course. Formated by Lisa
