PENNE AND ARTICHOKE HEARTS WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Penne and Artichoke Hearts With Gorgonzola Sauce image

The reworking of a recipe I got from someone else that I tweaked beyond all recognition... My serving size is pretty small because I like to enjoy pasta as a course rather than as the huge main focus of a meal. This is also a brilliant sauce to serve over gnocchi, if you feel so inclined, and I often do.

ARTICHOKE STEW WITH PINE NUTS

Provided by Food Network

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
6 cups water
36 baby artichokes, halved
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 ounces bacon, finely diced
1 large onion, finely chopped
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 pound ripe tomatoes, peeled, seeded, and chopped
3 cups chicken broth, preferably homemade
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Lemon wedges, for serving
1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted (see Note)

Steps:

  • In a glass or ceramic bowl, combine the vinegar and the water. Remove the outer leaves from each artichoke and trim the tops and bottoms. Lay the artichoke on its side and, with a small sharp knife cut away from the bottom towards the top on a slant, to form points. The edges should look scalloped, the bottoms rounded, and the tops pointed. As you trim each artichoke, place it in the bowl of acidulated water to stop it from discoloring.
  • In a large nonmetal saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium low heat. Add the bacon and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden. Pour off all but about 1 1/2 tablespoons of fat from the pan and discard it. Add the onion and cook for 6 to 7 minutes more, until softened, then add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes more, until the aroma of the garlic is released. Add the tomatoes to the pan and increase the heat to medium. Cook for 10 to 15 minutes, until all the liquid has evaporated. Add the broth, salt, and pepper and bring the liquid to a boil. Drain the artichokes well and add them to the pan. Reduce the heat so that the liquid is simmering and cook for about 25 to 30 minutes, covered. Transfer the artichokes to a serving dish and keep warm in a low oven. Increase the heat to high and boil the sauce until it has reduced to about 1 cup. Taste for seasoning and then pour the sauce over the artichokes. Squeeze some lemon juice evenly over the artichokes, scatter the toasted pine nuts over the top, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh artichokes: Fresh artichokes have a sweeter, more delicate flavor than canned or frozen artichokes. If you can't find fresh artichokes, you can use canned or frozen artichokes, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
  • Trim the artichokes properly: To trim artichokes, first cut off the stem. Then, use a sharp knife to cut off the thorny leaves. Finally, use a spoon to scoop out the fuzzy choke from the center of the artichoke.
  • Cook the artichokes until they are tender: Artichokes should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight bite to them. You can cook artichokes in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, and roasting.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is a key ingredient in this sauce, so be sure to use a good quality extra virgin olive oil.
  • Add the pine nuts at the end: Pine nuts can burn easily, so it's best to add them to the sauce at the very end of the cooking process.

Conclusion:

This fresh sauce with artichokes and pine nuts is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It's perfect for pasta, chicken, fish, and vegetables. The sauce is also a great way to use up leftover artichokes. So next time you have some artichokes on hand, be sure to try this recipe!
