GREEN BEANS WITH HAZELNUTS AND GORGONZOLA



Green Beans with Hazelnuts and Gorgonzola image

This holiday side is much healthier than its casserole counterpart. The Gorgonzola's rich, creamy texture offers a nice counterpoint to the crunchy, selenium-packed nuts. Briefly steaming the beans rather than boiling retains their vitamin C and B6 content.

PASTA WITH RADICCHIO, GORGONZOLA AND HAZELNUTS



Pasta With Radicchio, Gorgonzola and Hazelnuts image

This forgiving pasta makes for a hearty vegetarian dinner that arrives with salad in tow. The sweet, buttery crunch of hazelnuts and the salty, rich blue cheese balance the bitter crisp of the radicchio. If you don't have hazelnuts, any toasted nut like almonds or walnuts will do. If you're not going meatless, crisp up a little pancetta before you add the radicchio or serve the pasta as a side to accompany roast chicken or pork.

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course, side dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Kosher salt
1 pound mezze rigatoni or penne rigate
1 cup roughly chopped hazelnuts
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 pounds radicchio, cored and cut into 1-inch ribbons (around 2 to 3 medium heads)
Black pepper
6 ounces crumbled Gorgonzola or other mild, soft blue cheese
1/2 cup chopped Italian parsley
Flaky salt, for serving (optional)
Grated pecorino or Parmesan, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, according to package directions. Reserve 1½ cups pasta cooking water, and drain.
  • Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Toast the hazelnuts, stirring frequently so they do not burn, about 4 to 5 minutes. Remove and set aside and wipe out the skillet with a paper towel.
  • Heat the olive oil in the 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the radicchio and cook until it begins to wilt and browns in spots, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in the gorgonzola and 1/2 cup pasta water, and simmer for 1 to 2 minutes more. The water should emulsify the cheese and create a velvety texture.
  • Add the pasta to the skillet and toss to combine with the sauce, adding 1/4 cup pasta water or more as needed until it's glossy with sauce, about 1 minute more. Add the hazelnuts and half the parsley and toss again to combine. Top with remaining parsley and season with flaky salt. Pass grated cheese at the table, if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them. Avoid beans that are limp or have brown spots.
  • Trim the green beans: Remove the stem ends of the green beans. You can also cut the beans into smaller pieces if desired.
  • Blanch the green beans: Blanching helps to preserve the color and crispness of the green beans. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the green beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Immediately transfer the beans to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
  • Toast the hazelnuts: Toasting the hazelnuts brings out their flavor and makes them more fragrant. To toast the hazelnuts, spread them in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fragrant.
  • Use high-quality Gorgonzola cheese: The flavor of the Gorgonzola cheese is key to this dish, so be sure to use a good quality cheese. Look for a cheese that is creamy and flavorful.
  • Serve the green beans warm: This dish is best served warm, so try to time the cooking of the beans and the hazelnuts so that they are both ready at the same time.

Conclusion:

This green bean dish is a delicious and easy side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of green beans, hazelnuts, and Gorgonzola cheese is a classic combination that is sure to please everyone. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is a great option for busy weeknights or special occasions.
