Spinach Fettuccine With Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce

The rich, buttery flavor of Gorgonzola cheese makes this sauce unique. It can be prepared an hour before serving and gently reheated, and makes an excellent first course ( 6 to 8 servings) followed by roast chicken seasoned with rosemary.I have used low fat milk and fat free half and half and it still has a rich, decadent taste. Originally from a May 1979 issue of Bon Apetit.
