Pasta with Radicchio and Gorgonzola

Pasta with radicchio and gorgonzola is a delicious and easy-to-prepare dish. Here is a recipe you can follow:

Ingredients

• 320g of pasta (penne or fusilli work well to hold the sauce)
• 1 head of red radicchio
• 200g of sweet gorgonzola
• 1/2 glass of white wine
• 1 small onion
• 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
• Crushed walnuts for garnish (optional)

Preparation

1. Clean and cut the radicchio into strips.
2. In a pan, heat the extra virgin olive oil and sauté the finely chopped onion until it becomes transparent.
3. Add the cut radicchio and let it wilt over medium heat, stirring occasionally.
4. Deglaze with white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
5. Cut the gorgonzola into pieces and add it to the pan with the radicchio, stirring until it melts and forms a cream.
6. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.
7. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in plenty of salted water according to the instructions for al dente cooking.
8. Drain the pasta and pour it directly into the pan with the radicchio and gorgonzola sauce.
9. Stir well so that the pasta is well coated with the gorgonzola cream.
10. If desired, you can sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and garnish with chopped walnuts for added crunch.

Serve immediately and enjoy this delicate balance of flavors. The sweetness of the gorgonzola pairs beautifully with the bitterness of the radicchio, creating a dish rich in contrasts and flavor.
