PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Pasta With Pancetta and Gorgonzola Sauce image

This is NOT a low fat recipe, but it is oh-so delicious when you are in the mood for a treat. I made it up when I had some pancetta, heavy cream and gorgonzola on hand (three things I almost never have in the house). I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use more or less gorgonzola depending on how strong you want the flavor.

Categories     European

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb pasta, your choice what kind
1/2 lb pancetta, diced
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tablespoon sherry wine
4 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
freshly grated parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package directions.
  • While pasta is cooking, heat a cast iron skillet to medium high. Add pancetta and saute until fat begins to render. Add onion and saute until the onion is translucent and the pancetta begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the heavy cream and the sherry. Bring to a boil and then remove from heat.
  • Add the gorgonzola and stir until smooth. Place the pan back on the heat just until the cheese is fully melted and stir in the nutmeg.
  • Drain the pasta and put back into the pasta pot or a pasta bowl. Pour sauce over pasta and mix. Serve in shallow bowls and pass parmesan cheese for diners to grate over the hot pasta.

Tips:

  • Choosing the right gorgonzola cheese is essential for the best flavor in your sauce. Look for a creamy, flavorful gorgonzola that is not too pungent or crumbly.
  • Heavy cream adds richness and creaminess to the sauce, while milk helps to thin it out and make it more pourable. You can adjust the ratio of heavy cream to milk depending on your desired consistency.
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a salty, nutty flavor to the sauce. You can also use pre-shredded Parmesan cheese, but freshly grated cheese will give you the best flavor.
  • Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, or thyme, add a pop of color and flavor to the sauce. You can also use dried herbs, but fresh herbs will give you the best results.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sauce, as this can cause the cheese to separate and become grainy. Cook the sauce over low heat and stir constantly until it is heated through.

Conclusion:

Gorgonzola cream sauce is a delicious, versatile sauce that can be used with a variety of pasta dishes, vegetables, and meats. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With its creamy, flavorful sauce, gorgonzola cream sauce is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
