FETTUCCINE WITH GORGONZOLA AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• In a medium stainless-steel pot, combine the broth and wine and bring to a boil over moderate heat. Cook until the mixture is reduced to about 2/3 cup, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to moderately low and add the Gorgonzola, cream and butter. Bring to a simmer; cook, stirring, until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add the salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the pasta until almost done, about 9 minutes. Add the broccoli florets and bring back to a boil. Cook until the broccoli and pasta are just done, about 3 minutes longer. Drain.
• Toss the fettuccine and broccoli with the Gorgonzola sauce, Parmesan and parsley. Serve with extra Parmesan.
• Variations: Try the sauce and pasta with asparagus, green beans or just fresh herbs instead of the broccoli.
• Wine Recommendation: Strong-flavored broccoli and Gorgonzola are a challenge to match with wine. A Fiano di Avellino's intense taste can take them on, and its acidity will cut the unctuousness of the sauce.
