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!

Blue cheese may be substituted if you cannot find gorganzola. I used the crumbles and it worked great. We loved the contrast of the creamy sauce and the crunch of the walnuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. If you add too many mushrooms to the pan at once, they will steam instead of sautéing.
  • Cook the mushrooms until they are browned. This will help to bring out their flavor.
  • Use a good quality gorgonzola cheese. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite.
  • Serve the dish immediately. This will help to keep the pasta from getting soggy.

Conclusion:

Penne with mushrooms and gorgonzola cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try.
