PENNE WITH KALE, ROAST ONIONS AND GORGONZOLA
Steps:
- Place the kale in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes, then drain really well and set aside. Halve the onions lengthways then cut each half into crescent moon shaped slices, about 1cm thick at the thickest part. Toss these in a roasting tin with 2 tbsp of the olive oil, the balsamic vinegar, and season to taste. Roast in a preheated oven at 200 degrees celsius, gas mark 6 for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally. The onions should be tender and slightly charred. While the onions are roasting cook the pasta in plenty of boiling salted water for about 15 minutes (it should be al dente). Drain and return the pasta to the saucepan. Add the drained kale along with 1 tbsp of olive oil and adjust the seasoning if required. Cook over a medium heat until the kale has warmed through. Gently stir in the onions and cheese then drizzle with extra virgin olive oil if required and serve immediately.
Tips:
- Choose the right kale: Look for kale with dark, leafy greens and no signs of wilting or yellowing.
- Roast the onions properly: Roasting the onions brings out their natural sweetness and caramelizes them slightly. Make sure to roast them until they are tender and slightly browned.
- Use a good quality gorgonzola cheese: Gorgonzola is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
- Don't overcook the pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant.
- Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This penne with kale, roast onions, and gorgonzola is a delicious and easy-to-make weeknight meal. It's packed with flavor and nutrients, and it's sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and tasty pasta dish, give this recipe a try!
