If you love gorgonzola cheese, this is the dish for you.  Yes, the taste of the cheese is quite prevalent and strong, so you have to love it. :)  Everything combines really nice and it becomes such a delicious dish.  You can use any kind of chicken you have; just make sure it cooks all the way through.  Enjoy!
Ingredients:
-1 lb pasta (I used penne, but you can use any kind)
-1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
-8 chicken drumsticks, scored (cut a slit on each side of each drum for better cooking)

-1 tsp pepper
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package directions.
Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet.   Add chicken and cook until nice and brown on all sides.  Add the garlic and cook for 30 more seconds.
Stir in the cream and broth.  Cook until slightly thickened and chicken is cooked through.  Stir in the Gorgonzola, sage, salt and pepper.  Cook until cheese is all melted.
Drain the pasta and add to the skillet.  Stir to coat.  Enjoy!
