PASTA WITH ROASTED CAULIFLOWER AND BLUE CHEESE
When creamy Gorgonzola dolce hits a pot full of hot pasta, it melts into a rich and complex sauce without your having to do much more than stir. Here, the pasta and sauce are tossed with roasted cauliflower and caramelized, browned leeks. It's comfort food, but with a blue-cheese bite.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. In a large bowl, toss cauliflower with olive oil, salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Spread onto a rimmed baking sheet in an even layer, and bake for 20 minutes.
- Add leeks, garlic and thyme to the cauliflower on the sheet pan, then roast another 20 minutes, tossing the vegetables halfway through, until they are very tender and deeply caramelized.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta until it is 1 minute shy of being al dente. (It will continue to cook in the residual heat of the pot.) Scoop out about 1 cup pasta water (a coffee mug is good for this), then drain pasta. Return the pasta to the empty pot, along with butter, Gorgonzola, remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper and 1/2 cup pasta water, stirring to melt cheese.
- Toss roasted vegetables into pasta, then stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste. Add more pasta water if mixture looks dry. To serve, spoon into bowls and top with chives and sprinkle of thyme leaves.

FETTUCCINE WITH CHICKEN, LEEKS, AND GORGONZOLA
This delicious, rich, and creamy Gorgonzola fettuccine pasta dish is one of my very favorites. It's also wonderful the next day if you are lucky enough to have leftovers! Omit the chicken for a delicious vegetarian dish. You can also use multi-colored fettuccine pasta.

Steps:
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Cook fettuccine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and toss with 1 tablespoon olive oil. Set aside and keep warm.
- Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and leeks; cook and stir until leeks are tender and chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in chicken broth; continue cooking 2 to 3 minutes more. Pour in heavy cream. Reduce heat; let simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Stir Gorgonzola cheese and walnuts into the skillet with the chicken; continue to simmer until cheese has melted, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss with cooked pasta. Top with parsley.

MINI BEEF WELLINGTONS WITH MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA
Steps:
- Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature for 40 minutes or until they're easy to handle. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Season the beef with the black pepper.
- Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef and cook for 10 minutes, turning the beef over once during cooking. Remove the beef to a plate. Cover the plate and refrigerate for 1 hour or until the beef is cold.
- Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, shallots and garlic. Season with the black pepper. Cook until the mushrooms are tender, stirring often. Remove the mushroom mixture from the skillet and let cool.
- Unfold the pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheets into 2 (14-inch) squares. Trim the edges to form 2 (13-inch) squares. Cut each square into 4 squares, making 8 squares in all.
- Place 1 tablespoon Gorgonzola in the center of each pastry square. Divide the mushroom mixture among the pastry squares. Top each with 1 filet mignon. Fold 2 opposite pastry corners over the beef, overlapping slightly, and press to seal. Brush with the egg. Repeat with the remaining pastry corners.
- Place the Wellingtons seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate the Wellingtons and the remaining egg for 1 hour or overnight.
- Heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Brush the Wellingtons with the remaining egg. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden and the temperature of the beef is 117 degrees F. Serve immediately.
