What can I substitute for gorgonzola?
I have a lasagna recipe which requires 200 grams of gorgonzola, crumbled. Is this cheese widely available at supermarkets or is there an alternative I could use? The recipe is for 'spinach and ricotta lasagna with pine nuts'.
The Health meets Food Team Says...
Gorgonzola cheese is an Italian blue cheese. You could use almost any blue cheese but look for a mild blue cheese as an alternative. Saga blue cheese is a Danish cheese that's milder and widely available.
