Nutritional values

The probiotic lactic acid bacteria in Gorgonzola cheese have a positive influence on the intestinal flora. In addition, the spicy dairy product together with the cream offers a lot of protein as well as calcium, which is needed for strong bones and teeth.

What would a pasta sauce be without pasta? The pasta still tastes best when homemade: How about with some hearty pasta?
