PENNE WITH RADICCHIO AND GOAT CHEESE



Penne With Radicchio and Goat Cheese image

I sauté most of the radicchio in this recipe in olive oil with garlic and chile flakes, but I hold some back to add at the end for color and texture. The cooked radicchio sweetens a bit but still has a bitter edge. Just before tossing with the cooked pasta I ladle in some cooking water from the pasta, which you should be careful not to over-salt, add the goat cheese and stir until it has melted. The result is irresistible. It will work just as well with other bitter greens like endive and dandelions, as well as with blanched greens like kale.

Time 20m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 pounds radicchio (2 large or 4 smaller)
Salt to taste
3/4 pound penne
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 ounces soft goat cheese (to taste)
2 tablespoons minced chives

Steps:

  • Quarter and core radicchio, then cut crosswise into 1/2-inch wide strips. Set aside 2 cups of the cut up radicchio.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta and salt generously (but not too generously as you will add some of this water to the radicchio). Add pasta.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil over medium heat in a large heavy skillet or wide saucepan and add garlic and red pepper flakes. As soon as it begins to sizzle and smell fragrant add radicchio, except for the 2 cups you set aside, and salt to taste. Stir together until radicchio has wilted, about 5 minutes.
  • When pasta is just about ready, using a ladle transfer 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water to pan with radicchio. Add goat cheese and stir together. Stir in radicchio you set aside. Drain pasta and add to pan with cooked radicchio and goat cheese. Add chives, toss together, and serve at once.

SWEET GARLIC AND GOAT CHEESE PENNE



Sweet Garlic and Goat Cheese Penne image

Provided by Robert Irvine : Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 whole head garlic
1 pound penne pasta
1 cup milk
1 shallot, minced
1/2 cup white wine
3 ounces goat cheese, crumbled
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 small parsley sprigs

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Slice the root end off the entire head of garlic and turn it upside down, wrapping it in aluminum foil and molding the foil so it supports the garlic to allow the cut end to stand upright in the oven. Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil on the garlic (reserving the other tablespoon) so it slips between the skin and the cloves and wrap with the foil so it is enclosed. Roast for about 1 hour and set aside until it is cool enough to handle.
  • Bring a large pot of water to boiling for the pasta. Salt the water and boil until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat the milk in a small saucepot and keep warm. Squeeze the garlic cloves into a small bowl and mash them. Add a small amount of the warm milk to this bowl and whisk until smooth.
  • In a separate large saute pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium high heat and saute the shallot until translucent. Deglaze the pan with the white wine and allow most of the wine to evaporate, then reduce heat to low, and add the garlic mixture. Whisk the goat cheese and Parmesan into the remaining hot milk, and add this to the pan with the garlic and wine sauce and season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Fold the drained pasta into the pan of sauce, transfer to serving dish and garnish with parsley sprigs.
