Penne Gorgonzola With Chicken and Roma Tomatoes

"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."

  1. Very good recipe. This was very rich and tastey. The flavor was great. Thanks for an easy dinner!
     
  2. This was outstanding! It tastes just like my favorite dish from Johnny Carino's. My husband loved it. I added fresh sliced mushrooms sauted in butter. Thanks for sharing!
     
  3. 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.
     
  4. 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!
     
  5. 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.
