Categories     Entree

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon salt, if desired
1 lb uncooked penne pasta
1 3/4 cups whipping (heavy) cream
1/4 cup butter
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese (preferably Gorgonzola dolce, or sweet Gorgonzola), crumbled (1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash of freshly grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and garlic to coat with butter. Cook uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is light golden brown. Do not let onion or garlic burn. (Onions will shrink during cooking.)
  • Meanwhile, fill large pot with 5 quarts water; heat to boiling over high heat. When water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon salt if desired. When water returns to boil, add pasta. Stir immediately to make sure it doesn't stick to itself or pan. Boil pasta 9 to 10 minutes or until cooked through but still slightly firm. Drain in colander. There is no need to shake off excess moisture.
  • Add onion mixture to pot. Increase heat to medium and add 1 cup of the whipping cream and 1/4 cup butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and cream simmers. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add drained pasta and remaining 3/4 cup whipping cream. Cook and stir until pasta is coated and sauce is hot.

PENNE POLLO ALLA GORGONZOLA

Make and share this Penne Pollo Alla Gorgonzola recipe from Food.com.

Provided by The Italian Cook

Categories     Penne

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups penne pasta, cooked al dente (enough to absorb sauce but with a little left over)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped roma tomato
salt and pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 1/2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 chicken breast, cut into 16 pieces

Steps:

  • Using a medium saute pan, add oil, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and then saute until mushrooms are soft.
  • Add chicken about halfway through the saute (you can also use grilled chicken and add it at the end if you want).
  • Now add cream and half and half mixture with the gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan; put back on a medium flame; reduce until bubbles thicken, but don't overcook! The sauce will become clumpy on noodles once served, if overcooked.
  • Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper for taste (you most likely will have to do this).
  • If you precooked the noodles warm them up in a hot water bath before adding to the sauce.
  • Add a little water to the sauce with the noodles because the noodles really absorb the sauce.
  • Note: This recipe should make 1 serving and you usually add about a handful and a half of cooked penne to the sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is so delicious, and I hope my amounts are correct!
