After dining out with friends or family, do you ever find yourself saying something like “I could’ve made that at home” or even “I would’ve enjoyed this more if the dish was tweaked here or there.”? Sometimes staying at home and cooking with someone you love can not only be more affordable, but also more exciting than going out to eat because you get to choose what goes into making the dish special and delicious.

Rosa from Cooking with Rosie shares a recipe with us that her husband dubbed as restaurant-worthy, and we agree, but it’s even better because it’s hers. With a name like Rigatoni al Forno with Gorgonzola Sauce, a tasty pasta meal you’d probably see on a menu, it’s easy to see why this is the dish to prepare for a special dinner.

Rosa even says you can make it for unexpected guests–believe it, she prepared this in under an hour! This recipe is an original. Feeling inspired, Rosa put a few savory ingredients together and ended up with rigatoni pasta that includes bacon, bread crumbs and a gorgonzola sauce that’ll make you want to lick the plate clean!
