Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
One 8.8-ounce package cavatelli pasta
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
One 8-ounce container cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces Gorgonzola dolce cheese
One 5-ounce package baby spinach, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of pasta water, then drain well.
  • Meanwhile, add the pancetta and olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is crispy, about 8 minutes. Add the shallots and cook another minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the cavatelli to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Scatter the Gorgonzola over the pasta and stir to combine. Continue to stir, adding pasta water as needed, until a light creamy sauce is formed. Add the spinach and toss to combine. Cook for another minute, until the spinach is just barely wilted. Serve hot.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste, but my husband loved it. He said the sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the cherry tomatoes added a nice sweetness. I think I'll try making it again with a different type of cheese.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out nothing like the picture. The sauce was watery and the cherry tomatoes were tough. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This recipe was a disaster! The sauce was too thick and the cherry tomatoes were mushy. I had to throw the whole thing out.

I thought this dish was just okay. The sauce was a bit bland for my taste, and the cherry tomatoes didn't add much flavor. I probably won't be making this again.
