PENNE WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA SAUCE AND FRESH SAGE

Normally, there is a famous Italian sauce called “salsa ai quarto formaggi” or four-cheese sauce, which is very creamy and flavorful. This sauce recipe is made by soft and luxurious blue cheese that will melt quickly over your favorite type of pasta, it is Heaven.
