Skinny Gorgonzola Pasta is rich in flavor and not in calories and has the addition of roasted corn and tomatoes to make a mouth watering dish.
This recipe starts with roasting corn and grape tomatoes which gives them both a sweeter flavor. I guarantee you will love the flavor of both in this recipe.
Gorgonzola cheese is an Italian Blue Cheese, buttery in texture and has a strong pungent flavor. I recommend using a good quality gorgonzola cheese for this recipe, it will make a difference.
The gorgonzola sauce starts with an olive oil, garlic and flour mixture which chicken broth is added to. Using olive oil and chicken broth reduces the calories in this recipe. Add in the gorgonzola cheese to the sauce and you are ready to serve this with pasta and top it with the corn and tomatoes.
Enjoy!
