The Pasta alla Gorgonzola. On busy days it always helps to have a go-to recipe that is quick and simple to prepare and delicious.
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 lb tagliatelli – or your favorite
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 1 cup walnuts – chopped coarsely
- salt and pepper – to taste
- 4 tbs olive oil
- 2-3 garlic cloves – thinly sliced
- 2 cups gorgonzola cheese – crumbled
METHOD:
- Combine olive oil and garlic in a large frying pan and cook on medium-low for about 3-5 minutes, just until the garlic starts to color. Do not let it burn.
- Stir in the walnuts, mix well, and remove all from heat or keep on very low.
- In the meantime, cook pasta according to directions but, al dente. When almost ready, remove ½ cup of pasta water and add to frying pan.
- Add pasta and cheese, mix well and taste for salt and pepper.
- Stir and mix well again and cook until water is almost evaporated.
- Remove from heat and serve your Pasta alla Gorgonzola.
NOTE: This dish works well with tagliatelle or fusilli. But other wide pastas work too so use your favorite or whatever you have handy. Remember this is to be a quick and stress-free meal.
Serve with a simple salad and in our house, we still pass some grated cheese and probably crusty Italian bread!
BUON MANGIATA!
