Fifteen - Minute Gorgonzola Pasta
A very quick and easy one-pot sauce that will knock you over. How can anything that takes 15 minutes taste this good?
Ingredients:
1 tbsp unsalted butter1 shallot, minced
1 cup chicken or vegetable stock, such as Major
8 oz Gorgonzola cheese
1 lb pasta, such as Cara Nonna, any shape
Garnish:
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese1/3 cup toasted pine nuts
1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
Method:
Melt the butter in a heavy bottomed saucepan, add the shallot and saute until soft. Add the chicken or vegetable stock and increase the heat to a boil. Boil the stock until it is reduced to 1/2 cup. Add the Gorgonzola cheese and turn the heat down to a simmer. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Pour over hot pasta, garnish with Parmesan, pine nuts and parsley.Caren's Advice
I prefer to use artisan air dried pasta like Cara Nonna. This pasta allows your sauce to really cling, because of the bronzing and air drying.
