PASTA WITH GORGONZOLA AND ARUGULA



Pasta With Gorgonzola and Arugula image

The main characters here are Gorgonzola and arugula, the first of which appears in a number of different pasta sauces, all unsurpassed for their creaminess. But in many instances, to me at least, Gorgonzola-based sauces tend to be too slick and rich. This makes the addition of the fresh-tasting spicy arugula from the supermarket even more welcome. Not only does it provide a little bit of crunch, but its odd version of heat also gives a bit of an edge to what could otherwise be a soft, almost insipid sauce. Don't forget to finish up with a few hearty cranks of the pepper mill. A full teaspoon for the entire dish is not too much. (The original recipe called for 1/4 pound of Gorgonzola and 2 tablespoons of butter, but after many readers commented that the dish needed more sauce, we tested it and agreed. The figures you see below are for doubling the sauce, but if you prefer it the old way, just halve the Gorgonzola and butter.)

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons butter
1/2 pound ripe Gorgonzola
6 ounces arugula, washed and dried
1 pound cut pasta, like ziti or farfalle
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil for pasta. Meanwhile, melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. Add Gorgonzola and cook, stirring frequently, until cheese melts. Keep warm while you cook the pasta.
  • Tear arugula into bits, or use a scissors to cut it. Pieces should not be too small. Cook pasta until it is tender but not mushy. Remove and reserve a little cooking water, then drain pasta and toss it with arugula and cheese mixture, adding a bit of water if mixture seems dry.
  • Taste and add seasoning. Dish should take plenty of black pepper. Serve.

PASTA WITH RADICCHIO, GORGONZOLA AND HAZELNUTS



Pasta With Radicchio, Gorgonzola and Hazelnuts image

This forgiving pasta makes for a hearty vegetarian dinner that arrives with salad in tow. The sweet, buttery crunch of hazelnuts and the salty, rich blue cheese balance the bitter crisp of the radicchio. If you don't have hazelnuts, any toasted nut like almonds or walnuts will do. If you're not going meatless, crisp up a little pancetta before you add the radicchio or serve the pasta as a side to accompany roast chicken or pork.

Provided by Colu Henry

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
1 pound mezze rigatoni or penne rigate
1 cup roughly chopped hazelnuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds radicchio, cored and cut into 1-inch ribbons (around 2 to 3 medium heads)
Black pepper
6 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola or other mild, soft blue cheese
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
Grated pecorino or Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1½ cups pasta cooking water, and drain.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Toast the hazelnuts, stirring frequently so they do not burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Heat the olive oil in the 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the radicchio and cook until it begins to wilt and browns in spots, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the gorgonzola and 1/2 cup pasta water, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more. The water should emulsify the cheese and create a velvety texture.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce, adding 1/4 cup pasta water or more as needed until it's glossy with sauce, about 1 minute more. Add the hazelnuts and half the parsley and toss again to combine. Top with remaining parsley and season with flaky salt. Pass grated cheese at the table, if desired.

TENDERLOIN STEAKS WITH GORGONZOLA AND HERBS AND ROASTED GARLIC AND GRAPE TOMATO PASTA WITH BASIL AND ARUGULA



Tenderloin Steaks with Gorgonzola and Herbs and Roasted Garlic and Grape Tomato Pasta with Basil and Arugula image

I made garlic-centric meal for my in-laws, not normally fans of garlic, and they cleaned their plates! My husband was so happy to see his parents FINALLY embrace garlic (his first love - I'm number 3 behind Scotch) that he literally cried about it later that night!

Provided by Rachael Ray : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 58m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Salt
1 pound penne rigate
2 pints grape tomatoes
8 to 10 cloves garlic, cracked but left in skins, plus 1 clove peeled and halved
3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil plus some, for drizzling
Freshly ground black pepper
4 tenderloin steaks about 1 1/4-inch thick
2 scallions, whites and greens
8 to 10 fresh sage leaves
A handful flat-leaf parsley
1 cup Gorgonzola crumbles
1 cup grated Parmigianino-Reggiano, a few generous handfuls
1 cup basil leaves, about 20, torn or shredded
2 cups coarsely chopped arugula

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Place a pot of water on the stove and bring to a boil for the pasta. Salt water, add pasta and cook to just-shy of al dente. It needs to have a real bite left to it because it will sit in the sauce for 2 minutes later on and continue to cook. Heads up: you will need 2 ladles of starchy cooking water just before draining, about 1 1/2 cups.
  • Place the grape tomatoes on a cookie sheet with the garlic. Coat the tomatoes and cracked garlic with 3 to 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and season with lots of salt and pepper. Roast 20 minutes.
  • Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Rub with a clove of cut garlic. Coat the steaks lightly in extra-virgin olive oil.
  • Chop the scallions, whites and greens. Thinly slice the sage and finely chop the parsley. Combine the scallions and herbs with the Gorgonzola crumbles.
  • When you are a few minutes away from taking the tomatoes out of the oven, heat a skillet over high heat. Add the steaks and caramelize the meat on both sides, a minute and a half per side should do it.
  • Take the tomatoes and garlic out of the oven. Turn the oven off. Top the meat with the gorgonzola and transfer the skillet to the oven. Let the meat sit in the hot oven 4 to 5 minutes. The Gorgonzola will melt down over the meat and the steaks will be tender and pale pink inside.
  • Remove the roasted garlic from the skins and mash into a paste with the side of your knife. Transfer the garlic paste to the bottom of a pasta bowl. Using a fork, mix the garlic into 2 ladles of starchy pasta cooking water, about 1 1/2 cups. Add the tomatoes to the bowl and mash them with a potato masher until a sauce forms and tomatoes are well combined with garlic broth. Add penne, grated cheese, arugula and basil and toss a minute or 2 to allow the pasta to soak up flavors.
  • Serve meat with pasta alongside.

1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 * 2 teaspoons olive oil
2 * 2 teaspoons butter
3/4 * 3/4 cup half-and-half
1/4 * 1/4 cup chicken broth
1/4 * 1/4 cup dry white wine

8 * 8 ounces uncooked pasta, linquine or fettuccini

Steps:

  • Toss the filet mignon medallions with the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, salt, and pepper. Let rest in the refrigerator for 20 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare a pot of water to boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside. In a saute pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the beef. Cook without turning for 2-3 minutes, or until browned. Turn and repeat. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm. (If you would like the meat more well done, cook for additional time) Combine the butter through white wine in a saucepan. Bring to a slow simmer and stir in the Parmesan and Gorgonzola. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let simmer for 2 minutes, stirring to ensure the cheese has dispersed evenly. Toss the pasta with the sauce and filet mignon medallions. Garnish with additional Gorgonzola. Note: just before serving, I threw the asparagus into the pan I cooked the beef in. Sauteed it for a minute, poured a few glugs of white wine, and put the lid on it. After steaming it for a minute or two I seasoned with salt and pepper to taste. Serve it drizzled with some of the pan drippings you cooked it in.

Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package medium pasta shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in onion, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to the pan with the onion mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and pour in heavy cream; let simmer for 1 minute. Stir in cooked pasta, Gorgonzola cheese, basil, and salt. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the dish will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful cheese, pasta, and vegetables.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a large skillet. You want to have enough room to cook the pasta and sauce without it getting crowded. A large skillet will also help prevent the sauce from splattering.
  • Cook the sauce over medium heat. This will help prevent the sauce from burning or curdling.
  • Season the sauce to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta gorgonzola is best served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Pasta gorgonzola is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender pasta, it's sure to be a hit with everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pasta gorgonzola a try. You won't be disappointed!
