STeak-n-gorgonzola pasta recipe

[Guest guest]

Mmmm, tomato sammich for lunch - Campari tomatoes, Miracle Whip, whole

grain-n-honey bread....

Anyway, here's a " cheating " recipe for steak & gorgonzola pasta.

Depending on sides and appetites, I'd say this makes 3-4 servings.

1 lb or so of good beef - leftover roast or steak works great. Cut into

thin short slices.

1 jar your fave Alfredo sauce - I like Classico for all-naturalness

1 LARGE red bell pepper - dice or slice, your preference.

Crumbled gorgonzola - at least 3 tablespoons, more if you really like it

A little onion or shallot, diced small

A little fresh garlic, minced (can be replaced with dry/powdered/whatever

2-1/2 cups your fave sturdy pasta - I like Barilla whole grain farfalle or

penne, but linguine works too - cooked al dente.

some butter

salt, pepper, garlic, etc, to taste

Heat sauce according to directions. Add a little butter and abt 3

tablesppons gorgonzola. Set aside to keep barely warm.

If you're using raw beef, sauté it in a heavy skillet in butter. When

it's almost cooked through, add the bell pepper and onion, cook til onion is

translucent. Add the garlic at the last minute or two so it doesn't burn.

Add meat and veg to the sauce and simmer about 5 minutes. Check

seasonings; add more Gorgonzola if needed. Stir in cooked pasta, and let

" marry " a few minutes while you prep sides. Serve hot.

I've done this dish the other way with from-scratch sauce, this is just as

good and a whole lot simpler...
