Preparation
- Step 1
Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. In a small saucepan gently warm the half-and-half and Gorgonzola just until cheese melts a bit and mixture becomes thick; chunky is O.K.
- Step 2
When water boils, cook pasta until it is just tender but not mushy. Drain and return to pot over low heat.
- Step 3
Stir in Gorgonzola sauce along with arugula, tomatoes and a healthy dose of black pepper. Stir to combine, taste and add salt, if necessary, then serve immediately, with grated Parmesan if you like.

What's not to like here? About as simple and delicious as a recipe can be and ready for the table in the time it takes to boil the pasta water. Two minor comments: try adding a bit of pasta water for a slightly less thick sauce and roast the tomatoes for more flavor if not peak season.
Delicious but with at least twice the tomatoes and arugula
It was delicious and quick. My eight year old ate two bowls:)
Added sliced onions, mushrooms, fresh basil
Sauté the tomatoes in a glug of olive oil before adding them in with the rest of the ingredients; something about the idea of raw tomatoes didn’t sound appealing with a cream sauce.
