Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 12

500 g short fusilli bucati (1.1lbs) (or other short pasta such as penne)
100 g Parmigiano-Reggiano (3.5oz) (freshly grated )
350 g Gorgonzola (10oz) (broken into chunk. I used dolce/sweet)
150 g pancetta (5oz) (cubed)
250 g criminis or button mushrooms (9oz) (cleaned and cut into thick slices)
250 g Pioppini mushrooms (9oz) (cleaned)
1/2 glass dry white wine (2.5floz)
1 medium onion (peeled and finely chopped.)
salt (for pasta and to taste)
black pepper (to taste)
3 tbsp olive oil
1/2 glass milk (or 1 cup of pasta cooking water)

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of water to boil for the pasta. Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta when it comes back to the boil.
  • Cook until a couple of minutes before the length of time stated in the cooking instructions. The pasta needs be a bit too hard to eat; it cooks further in the oven.
  • Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup water.
  • While you are boiling the water for the pasta, heat the olive oil in a frying pan or skillet Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften.
  • Add the pancetta and continue cooking until it starts to brown.
  • Add all the mushrooms and continue cooking them until they brown slightly.
  • Add the white wine and some fresh parsley continue cooking until the wine has partially evaporated and the mushrooms are cooked.
  • Now add the gorgonzola whilst stirring continuously until it melts.
  • You can use the milk or water from the pasta to make the sauce more liquid
  • Add half the grated parmesan and continue to stir adding milk or water as required. Don't let the sauce get too thick or dry.
  • Add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Mix the pasta with the ready sauce and transfer to a greased oven dish (I use a bit of butter).
  • Sprinkle the rest of the parmigiano on top and add a few pieces of butter. Bake in a preheated hot oven (180-200°c) for 10 minutes or until the top starts to get brown and crunchy!
  • Remove from the oven and let the dish stand for a couple of minutes.
  • Serve with extra grated parmigiano as required.

PASTA WITH PANCETTA AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Pasta With Pancetta and Gorgonzola Sauce image

This is NOT a low fat recipe, but it is oh-so delicious when you are in the mood for a treat. I made it up when I had some pancetta, heavy cream and gorgonzola on hand (three things I almost never have in the house). I hope you enjoy it as much as we do. You can use more or less gorgonzola depending on how strong you want the flavor.
