CAVATELLI WITH GORGONZOLA AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Cavatelli with Gorgonzola and Cherry Tomatoes image

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.

PENNE WITH TOMATOES AND GORGONZOLA CHEESE SAUCE



Penne with Tomatoes and Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce image

I had this dish on a trip to Sicily in 2006. It has become one of our favorites. It is unbelievably good. Each time I have it, I am transported to the lovely trattoria in Taormina where I had this for lunch.

Provided by Debbie Harris @NonnieD

Categories     Pasta

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoon(s) extra virgin olive oil
1 - chopped onion
5 - garlic cloves chopped
1 - large can of crushed tomatoes
1/2 cup(s) fresh basil chopped
1 stick(s) unsalted butter at room temperature
8 ounce(s) gorgonzola cheese
1 pound(s) penne pasta
1 cup(s) freshly grated parmigiano reggiano or grana padano cheese

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chopped onion and garlic and saute until translucent. Stir in the crushed tomatoes and basil. Cook until the sauce thickens, about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • In the meantime, beat the butter and gorgonzola cheese by hand until well blended together.
  • Boil your pasta according to the directions. When just about tender, drain well and return to the pot. Add the gorgonzola, butter mixture to your tomato sauce. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top with the grated cheese and enjoy!!!! MANGIA BENE.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, ripe tomatoes and creamy, flavorful Gorgonzola cheese will make all the difference in this dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the tomatoes. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and releasing their juices.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to make the tomato sauce. Just be sure to strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or skin.
  • Add the Gorgonzola cheese to the sauce just before serving. This will prevent it from melting too much and becoming grainy.
  • Serve the pasta immediately with a sprinkle of freshly grated Parmesan cheese and a glass of your favorite red wine.

Conclusion:

This penne pasta with tomatoes and Gorgonzola is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of sweet tomatoes, creamy Gorgonzola, and salty Parmesan is simply irresistible. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying pasta dish, give this one a try. You won't be disappointed!
