Although I usually post healthy recipes, this one does not fall into that category! It is rich, creamy and decadent. If you like cream sauces, watch out!! This is a recipe my husband developed based on a dish at an Italian restaurant. I think his is just as good.

I was searching through the Johnny Carrinos menu when I saw Chicken Penne Gorgonzola. I thought that it would be a great dish to make. So I searched through a few recipes. This one seemed to be the simplest. It was absolutely amazing. I cooked it for my boyfriend and his friends and they just raved about how good it was. I made garlic bread to go with it. I would definitely make this recipe again.

Altogether , pretty good. I will make again but will only put a dash of Nutmeg 1 tsp was way too much for me. My family didn't complain, they all inhaled it and took seconds!

I made this last ngt, with a few modifications. I didn't use any tomatoes and used half/half rather than whipping cream. I also added 2 teaspoons of red peppercorn flakes I meant to add sun dried tomatoes but didn't pick them up at the store. This dish was GREAT! It will be on regular rotation at my hse.

I agree with kuntryqtpi...it does taste a lot like a dish from Johnny Carino's. I ate it the other night and came online looking for a similar recipe and found this. Just made it for supper and will be using this recipe again in the future. Delicious!
