Heat a pan, place bacon and brown. If necessary, remove excess fat. Pour in Martini, evaporate half of it. Add cream, cheese slices, and once the cheese is melted, put basil leaves. In a pan, put the penne and stir it up well. If necessary, add some water from cooking.

This combination of penne pasta with Martini sauce and Gorgonzola Dolce cheese sounds really delicious! I’m wondering, does the Martini sauce have any alcohol content in it? And how does the sweet and creamy Gorgonzola Dolce cheese complement the overall taste of this dish? I’m curious to know more about the flavors and ingredients involved.
What is the recommended ratio of Martini sauce to Gorgonzola Dolce cheese for the penne dish?
