Gorgonzola Cream Sauce For Pasta

Step 1

Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in covered pot for pasta.

Step 2

Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of buttermilk to make smooth paste. In heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine buttermilk-cornstarch mixture, remaining buttermilk, Gorgonzola and nutmeg.

Step 3

Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, to melt cheese and thicken mixture.

Step 4

When water boils, stir in pasta and cook according to package directions, about 45 seconds; drain.

Step 5

Just as buttermilk mixture begins to thicken, stir in peas and cook just long enough to heat through.

Step 6

Stir in walnuts and serve over pasta with Parmesan cheese on the side.
