A quick dinner doesn't have to be boring. This 30-minute recipe features a rich gorgonzola sauce lightly sweetened with chopped dried figs. Super sophisticated, the flavors are worthy of a dinner party but simple enough for a weeknight meal with family. Try for a weeknight dinner or serve for a wonderful luncheon main. Add some fresh spinach and stir until wilted for a pop of color and veggies. Serve with a crispy baguette to sop up all the delicious sauce and complete the meal with a peppery salad of arugula with a lemon vinaigrette. Use the velvety sauce to dress roasted chicken breasts, seared fillets or over roasted asparagus.
