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.

This recipe was a bit bland. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to give it some more flavor.

The sauce was a bit too rich for my taste, but the pasta was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using less gorgonzola next time.
