Time 40m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package medium pasta shells
1 tablespoon olive oil
½ cup diced onion
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 (14 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, or to taste
⅓ cup chopped fresh basil
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shells and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Stir in onion, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Cook and stir until onion is soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add tomato paste and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add tomatoes and balsamic vinegar to the pan with the onion mixture. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until thickened, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat and pour in heavy cream; let simmer for 1 minute. Stir in cooked pasta, Gorgonzola cheese, basil, and salt. Serve immediately.
