Pasta Sauce or Salad Dressing with Gorgonzola and Ricotta |
| 3 oz gorgonzola or Roquefort cheese
6 oz milk 1/2 lb ricotta cheese 2 oz butter 1 stick celery 1/2 onion, sweet (Vidalia or 10/15 or shallots) paprika salt and pepper Put the gorgonzola and ricotta and buttet, all at room temperature, into a Cuisinart or a blender with 2 -6 Tbsp milk to make a fairly liquid puree. Make it a little more liquid for a salad dressing than for a pasta sauce. Transfer to a bowl add the chopped onion, chopped celery, salt and pepper. Mix well. For pasta: Cook the pasta, toss in butter or olive oil, and add the gorgonzola mixture diluted just before adding with one or two Tbsp of the pasta water if it is too thick. For salad dressing: Add a couple of Tbsp olive oil and mix well before serving. Variation: (1) Use paprika instead of pepper.
