Provided by The Italian Cook

Categories     Penne

Time 45m

Yield 1 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 cups penne pasta, cooked al dente (enough to absorb sauce but with a little left over)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon chopped red onion
1 tablespoon chopped roma tomato
salt and pepper
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup half-and-half
2 1/2 tablespoons crumbled gorgonzola
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese
1 chicken breast, cut into 16 pieces

Steps:

  • Using a medium saute pan, add oil, mushrooms, onions, garlic, and tomatoes, and a pinch of salt and pepper, and then saute until mushrooms are soft.
  • Add chicken about halfway through the saute (you can also use grilled chicken and add it at the end if you want).
  • Now add cream and half and half mixture with the gorgonzola cheese and Parmesan; put back on a medium flame; reduce until bubbles thicken, but don't overcook! The sauce will become clumpy on noodles once served, if overcooked.
  • Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper for taste (you most likely will have to do this).
  • If you precooked the noodles warm them up in a hot water bath before adding to the sauce.
  • Add a little water to the sauce with the noodles because the noodles really absorb the sauce.
  • Note: This recipe should make 1 serving and you usually add about a handful and a half of cooked penne to the sauce. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it is so delicious, and I hope my amounts are correct!

Categories     Entree

Time 1h30m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons butter
1 large sweet onion, thinly sliced (1 1/2 cups)
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon salt, if desired
1 lb uncooked penne pasta
1 3/4 cups whipping (heavy) cream
1/4 cup butter
4 oz Gorgonzola cheese (preferably Gorgonzola dolce, or sweet Gorgonzola), crumbled (1 cup)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
Dash of freshly grated nutmeg or ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • In 10-inch nonstick skillet, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high heat. Stir in onion and garlic to coat with butter. Cook uncovered about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cook uncovered 35 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until onion is light golden brown. Do not let onion or garlic burn. (Onions will shrink during cooking.)
  • Meanwhile, fill large pot with 5 quarts water; heat to boiling over high heat. When water is boiling, add 1 tablespoon salt if desired. When water returns to boil, add pasta. Stir immediately to make sure it doesn't stick to itself or pan. Boil pasta 9 to 10 minutes or until cooked through but still slightly firm. Drain in colander. There is no need to shake off excess moisture.
  • Add onion mixture to pot. Increase heat to medium and add 1 cup of the whipping cream and 1/4 cup butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until butter melts and cream simmers. Stir in cheese, salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add drained pasta and remaining 3/4 cup whipping cream. Cook and stir until pasta is coated and sauce is hot.
