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.

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.

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.)

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.

2 large heads radicchio
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup water
2 cups heavy cream
4 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons butter
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Remove core and outer leaves of radicchio, and chop fine.
  • In saucepan, heat 3 tablespoons butter, and saute radicchio unitl wilted. Add 2 ounces water and simmer for 2 minutes. Taste radicchio. If radicchio is no longer bitter, let it simmer until soft and water has evaporated. If it remains bitter, pour off excess water, add another 1/4 cup of water and simmer until it is soft and water evaporates. The double simmering should remove any bitterness.
  • Reduce heat under radicchio to very low, add cream and cook until sauce is thick and reduced, about 10 to 20 minutes.

GORGONZOLA CREAM SAUCE FOR PASTA



Gorgonzola Cream Sauce For Pasta image

Provided by Marian Burros

Categories     dinner, pastas, main course

Time 10m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 quarts water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
2 tablespoons sweet Gorgonzola
Large dash ground nutmeg
8 ounces fresh angel-hair pasta
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
2 tablespoons toasted, chopped walnuts
2 tablespoons freshly grated parmigiano reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring 3 quarts of water to boil in covered pot for pasta.
  • Mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of buttermilk to make smooth paste. In heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine buttermilk-cornstarch mixture, remaining buttermilk, Gorgonzola and nutmeg.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring almost constantly, to melt cheese and thicken mixture.
  • When water boils, stir in pasta and cook according to package directions, about 45 seconds; drain.
  • Just as buttermilk mixture begins to thicken, stir in peas and cook just long enough to heat through.
  • Stir in walnuts and serve over pasta with Parmesan cheese on the side.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of Gorgonzola cheese: There are two main types of Gorgonzola cheese: dolce and piccante. Dolce is a mild, creamy cheese with a sweet flavor, while piccante is a sharper, more pungent cheese with a blue-green veining. For this recipe, either type of cheese can be used, but dolce is the more traditional choice.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian, and it refers to the ideal texture for cooked pasta. It should be firm and slightly chewy, but not hard or mushy. To achieve al dente pasta, cook it for the amount of time specified on the package, then drain it and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • Use good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an important ingredient in this recipe, so it's important to use a good quality oil. Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice, as it has a rich, fruity flavor that will enhance the other ingredients in the sauce.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the radicchio, don't overcrowd the pan. If there is too much radicchio in the pan, it will steam instead of sautéing, and it will become limp and watery. Cook the radicchio in batches if necessary.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately, while the pasta is still hot and the sauce is creamy. If you need to make the dish ahead of time, you can cook the pasta and the sauce separately and then reheat them just before serving.

Conclusion:

Pasta with Gorgonzola sauce and radicchio is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The creamy, flavorful sauce and the slightly bitter radicchio complement each other perfectly, and the dish is sure to please everyone at the table. With its bold flavors and simple preparation, this dish is a great way to enjoy the best of Italian cuisine. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy pasta dish, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
