Instructions

Heat Olive oil in a deep saute pan. Saute the leeks until they begin to soften. Add peppers and repeat process, lowering heat to medium. Once softened, add wine to pan and reduce wine until it is almost evaporated. Add herbs; sun dried tomatoes, olives, salt, and pepper to pan. Continue to cook for 5 minutes, turning heat down to low, allowing the flavors to blend.

Cook Linguine until al dente. Place the crumbled Gorgonzola in a large mixing bowl. Drain the pasta and quickly toss with the gorgonzola to melt and coat the linguine. Add half of the vegetable mixture and toss briefly. Place the pasta on plates and portion remaining vegetable mixture on top of each plate. Serve, immediately, and pass the Parmesan.
