Yes, social media do “eat up” our time, sometimes “fry” our brains, and pull our attention more than they should, but many times they also give us little culinary “gems.”
One such case is spaghetti with gorgonzola cream, as well as marry me pasta.
Among many cooking reels, between sautéing, stirring, and boiling, I also “fished out” this very easy, quick, and absolutely delicious recipe.
A small amount of sweet, creamy gorgonzola, grated Parmesan, and cream, and you have a pasta dish that will make your mouth water.
In this particular recipe, I used cashew cream instead of the classic—and beloved—heavy cream. Although the flavor of heavy cream is rich and very delicious, lately I have started using cashew cream, at least in pasta dishes.
I do this as part of a broader effort to reduce animal products in my cooking.
Its flavor is very good and it does not fall short at all compared to heavy cream.
Ingredients for Pasta with Gorgonzola Cream
- 400 g spaghetti or any pasta you like
- 100 g sweet gorgonzola (it is creamy and without a strong blue color)
- 200 g grated Parmesan
- 100 ml heavy cream or cashew cream (it is now easy to find in large supermarkets)
- a little water (1 small Greek coffee cup) from boiling the pasta
- pepper

Instructions
Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water for 2 minutes less than the time indicated on the package. Reserve one small Greek coffee cup of the pasta cooking water.
In a platter or large bowl, place the gorgonzola, the grated Parmesan, and the cream. Add a little of the reserved water.
Using a fork, mash the gorgonzola and mix it with the Parmesan and the cream.
Add a little more of the pasta water and stir again.
We want a smooth cream.
Transfer the pasta into the platter with the cream. Stir so that the cream “hugs” the pasta well.
Serve immediately while the pasta is still hot, with plenty of freshly ground pepper!
