Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce and Radicchio image

My favorite pasta to have this with is gnocchi. The light and fluffy potato pasta goes well with the rich sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.

Tips for Cooking Orecchiette with Mushrooms, Radicchio, and Gorgonzola

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Fresh mushrooms, radicchio, cheese, and orecchiette make all the difference in this recipe.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the mushrooms and radicchio, make sure to give them enough space in the pan so that they can brown properly.
  • Cook the orecchiette al dente. Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and has a better texture than overcooked pasta.

  • Serve immediately. This dish is best served immediately after it is made, while the pasta is still hot and the cheese is melted.

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients.
