FASTA PASTA GORGONZOLA WITH SPINACH, RED PEPPERS AND PINE NUTS



Fasta Pasta Gorgonzola With Spinach, Red Peppers and Pine Nuts image

Chances are you have all of the ingredients for this pasta dish on hand, in your refrigerator and cupboard. That's how it came together in my kitchen, and what a felicitous combination of flavors it turned out to be. Plus it goes together in a half hour or less. Be sure to use a milder blue cheese so it doesn't end up overwhelming the other flavors. You could substitute broccoli for the spinach, and you could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish (use vegetable broth instead of chicken). This goes well with a dry white or medium-bodied red wine.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb corkscrew macaroni
1 large whole boneless skinless chicken breast
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 large garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced
1 (8 ounce) bag pre-washed Baby Spinach
1 large red bell pepper, roasted, skinned, seeded and cut into thin strips (can substitute bottled just as good)

1 bunch fresh basil, sliced into ribbons
8 ounces gorgonzola, cut into 1 cubes (or other mild, creamy blue cheese)
salt and pepper
1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted
freshly grated parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta 10 minutes or until al dente; drain.
  • Cut chicken into ½--inch pieces and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoons olive oil in a large sauté pan and sauté chicken pieces until just cooked through, around 5 minutes. Remove chicken and pan juices to a bowl and set aside.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoons olive oil in same pan and sauté garlic until translucent. Do not allow it to brown.
  • Add the washed spinach and sauté until wilted. Add chicken broth and red peppers and bring to a boil. Add basil and gorgonzola and stir over medium-high heat until cheese melts completely.
  • Add drained pasta, chicken and juices to sauté pan and heat for 1 minute, mixing thoroughly with vegetable-cheese mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Divide among serving plates and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and toasted pine nuts. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use a good quality gorgonzola cheese. A creamy, flavorful cheese will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Spinach can be cooked or uncooked in this dish. If you're using uncooked spinach, be sure to wash and dry it thoroughly.
  • Pine nuts add a nice nutty flavor to this dish. They can be toasted in a pan or oven before adding to the pasta.
  • This dish can be served immediately or reheated later. If you're reheating it, be sure to do so gently so that the cheese doesn't separate.

This fettuccine with gorgonzola, spinach, and pine nuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. The creamy gorgonzola sauce is perfectly complemented by the fresh spinach and nutty pine nuts. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
