RIGATONI WITH SAUSAGE, SPINACH, AND GOAT CHEESE



Rigatoni with Sausage, Spinach, and Goat Cheese image

While this recipe is delicious as is, you can do a couple of things to give it even more flavor. Use a combination of spicy and sweet sausage instead of just sweet and--something I do almost every time I use goat cheese--use a fork to mix into it 1/2 teaspoon each of chopped fresh parsley, chives, and thyme.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Salt to taste
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound sweet Italian sausage or a combination of sweet and spicy, casings removed
3/4 pound rigatoni
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley leaves
4 ounces spinach, well washed and dried and coarsely chopped (about 2 cups)
1/2 pint cherry, grape or sungold tomatoes
4 ounces fresh goat cheese
2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and a pinch of salt and cook until translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the sausage and use a fork to crumble the sausage into the pan. Increase the heat to medium-high, and fully cook the sausage, adding some of the pasta water to deglaze the pan.
  • Cook the rigatoni until just shy of al dente. Before draining, reserve about 1 cup of the cooking water.
  • Add the pasta to the pan with the sausage, reserving the cooking liquid, and add the parsley. Add the spinach and tomatoes and cook, tossing, until the spinach has wilted. Add some of the reserved cooking liquid, if needed. Remove from the heat. Crumble the goat cheese with a fork and add it along with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Add a bit more of the cooking liquid if needed and serve.

RIGATONI AL FORNO WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE RECIPE - (4/5)



Rigatoni al Forno with Gorgonzola Sauce Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by á-18

Number Of Ingredients 13

Gorgonzola Sauce:
1 pkg (250 g or 300 g) Philadelphia cream cheese
1 cup (4 oz) grana padana or parmesan
1/2 cup butter, cubed
1/2 cup milk
4 oz (100 g) gorgonzola cheese, cubed
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Pasta al Forno:
250 g (1/4 kg) rigatoni pasta
1 recipe for Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce
150 g speck (pancetta or bacon), thinly sliced
1 cup of frozen peas
1 tbsp bread crumbs for garnishing (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 deg F / 180 deg C. 2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook rigatoni according to package instructions, about 12 minutes. 3. In the meantime, prepare the Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce. In a medium sauce pan, mix together the ingredients for the sauce (except for parsley) and cook over medium-low heat until melted and well blended. Occasionally stir the sauce until it thickens up. Remove from heat and add parsley. Set aside. 4. As the sauce is cooking, heat a small non-stick frying pan, about 1 minute, and then add the speck, pancetta or bacon. Cook until the meat doesn't appear to be raw, anymore (not browned), about 1 minute. Remove from heat and set aside. I added a bit of salt so the speck wouldn't taste bland when mixed with pasta. 5. Drain pasta when done and transfer back into the pot. Add speck, frozen peas, and Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce. Mix well and then transfer to a 1.5-2 L baking casserole and sprinkle with bread crumbs on top (optional). 6. Bake in preheated oven for 20 minutes. Cool 5 minutes before serving. Serve with a tossed green salad and garlic bread, if desired.

Provided by gailanng

Categories     Chicken Breast

Time 2h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (each about 4 to 6 ounces)
6 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup olive oil
2 teaspoons minced garlic, divided
salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 fresh sage leaves, chopped (optional)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
12 ounces rigatoni pasta, cooked al dente and keep warm (or other tubular pasta)
1/3 cup flour seasoned with salt and pepper
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup crumbled gorgonzola or 1 cup blue cheese
1/2 cup grated fresh parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons minced parsley (to garnish)

Steps:

  • CHICKEN MARINADE: Lightly pound each chicken breast between 2 pieces of plastic wrap. In a non-reactive dish (glass or porcelain), combine the lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 teaspoon of the garlic and season with salt and pepper to taste. Marinate, covered and refrigerated, for not more than 2 hours.
  • FOR THE SAUCE: In a 2-quart saucepan over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the onion and remaining teaspoon of garlic and cook stirring, over low heat, for 5 minutes or until the onion is tender. Add the cream and bring to a simmer, add the sage and parsley and remove from the heat; set aside.
  • THE CHICKEN: Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry. Dip the chicken lightly in the seasoned flour on both sides. In a 12-inch skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and cook the chicken for about 5 minutes per side or until completely cooked through. Remove the chicken to a plate and loosely cover with foil, keep warm. Add the white wine to the skillet and boil, stirring with a wooden spoon until there are only 2 tablespoons of liquid in the pan. Add the reserved cream mixture and bring to a boil, add the Gorgonzola and Parmesan cheeses and bring to a simmer. Remove from heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • ASSEMBLY: Add the hot cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until well combined. Divide the pasta between 4 dishes and top each portion with chicken. Garnish the chicken with minced parsley and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients: Use fresh vegetables, good quality cheese (Parmigiano-Reggiano and Gorgonzola), and flavorful pasta (rigatoni or penne).
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is slightly firm to the bite. This will help it hold its shape and texture in the sauce.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help distribute heat evenly and prevent the sauce from scorching.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add the pasta to the sauce: Once the sauce is simmering, add the cooked pasta to the pot and stir to combine.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs: Before serving, garnish the dish with fresh herbs such as basil, parsley, or chives.

This Rigatoni with Gorgonzola Cheese recipe is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal.
