Campanelle Con Miele E Gorgonzola is a delicious and creamy Italian pasta dish that's perfect for cheese lovers. Gorgonzola cheese gives the sauce its distinct sharpness, while honey adds a touch of sweetness. Campanelle pasta is used in this recipe because of its trumpet-like shape and grooves that help it hold onto sauce. This makes it a perfect pairing with this rich and flavorful sauce. Don't be afraid to garnish with fresh parsley and chopped black olives to add a pop of color and some extra flavor.

1.	Cook the campanelle pasta according to package instructions, draining well when done.
2.	In a medium saucepan, heat the half-and-half over low heat until it begins to simmer.
3.	Add in the gorgonzola cheese, white pepper, and honey, stirring until everything is melted and combined.
4.	When sauce has thickened slightly, remove it from heat and add salt to taste.
5.	Mix the pasta with the sauce until everything is evenly coated.
6.	Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and chopped black olives if desired.
