O.K. Lisa---you deserve major kudos! This pasta was definitely an "S", as in Superb, Sublime, Sophisticated, etc. I followed your recipe to the "T", with just 2 changes. I used Maytag blue cheese, instead of the Gorgonzola. My second change was proportions of sauce to pasta. I ended up doing 3/4 of all sauce ingredients, but instead of doing 3/4 of the pasta----I did 1/2 pound pasta, and this entree was perfect for 2. In other words, a little more sauce to pasta ratio. I also want you to know that the entire sauce can be made WELL in advance. At serving, I cooked the pasta, and tossed it with the sauce over heat---Too tasty for words. Thank you so much for sharing. More recipes, please!

This was great! I have made it several times, sometimes adding sauteed baby bella mushrooms, chopped spinach, or even leftover cooked chicken. I am a huge fan of gorgonzola, and this is the best vehicle for gorgonzola I've ever had. When I have added those other ingredients, I simply double the cheese and balsamic vinegar so the flavors don't get too diluted. And I've even managed to find a way to eat the arugula that is so plentiful in season around here, but is normally too bitter for my taste. I simply add the fresh, chopped arugula in the last step, and the heat of the pasta wilts it nicely.

My "meat and potatoes" man loved this dish! I can't believe we ate the whole thing, made half since there's only two of us. The taste of the carmelized onions, the balsamic vinegar and the cheese blended together beautifully to make an extraordinary pasta dish. I added additional salt and pepper at the table. Served with a plate of sliced apples and pears would've been delightful! Next time...

I don't feel right about simply rating this because I used it more as a jumping off point. I was afraid of using so much onion. So I added: chopped frozen spinach, jarred roasted red peppers, fresh basil, and extra vinegar. It was fabulous, even my roommate who is sometimes afraid to try what I cooked said she would eat a full portion if I made it again.

I thought the end result was great, but getting there took longer than the recipie indicated. I followed the recipie exactly but the onions took close to an hour to saute. Not sure what happened there... I will give it another try because it was so tasty. I also recommend this as a side dish because the flavors are so strong. Maybe serve with steak...

I followed this recipe exactly and it was delicious. Perfect amount of cheese, and I added chopped spinach to the hot pasta after cooking. Added a dash of fresh ground black pepper on top and mixed in before serving.

This recipe was quick, easy, and best of all--delicious! My whole family loved it, even my 3 year old! My husband took the leftovers to work and said it was even better the next day. I didn't have "sweet" onions, so I added a touch of brown sugar to mine. Also I drizzled extra balsamic vinegar on top. I will be making this again--soon!

Quick, easy, delicious. Who could ask for anything more? Don't skimp on the gorgonzola. Better cheese = better dinner.
