Cooking Tips

• For extra flavor, you can add some minced garlic to the skillet when cooking the Brussels sprouts.
• If you prefer a milder cheese, you can substitute Gorgonzola with a creamy blue cheese or even goat cheese.

Storage and Serving

• This dish is best served immediately while the pasta is still hot and the cheese is melted.
• If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, you can microwave the leftovers or warm them in a skillet with a splash of olive oil.
