Cavatelli with Gorgonzola and Cherry Tomatoes image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt
One 8.8-ounce package cavatelli pasta
8 ounces pancetta, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
2 shallots, chopped
One 8-ounce container cherry tomatoes, halved
4 ounces Gorgonzola dolce cheese
One 5-ounce package baby spinach, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cavatelli and cook for 2 minutes less than the package directions. Reserve 1 1/2 cups of pasta water, then drain well.
  • Meanwhile, add the pancetta and olive oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is crispy, about 8 minutes. Add the shallots and cook another minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and season with 1/8 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes begin to soften, about 4 minutes. Add the cavatelli to the skillet along with 1/2 cup of the pasta water. Scatter the Gorgonzola over the pasta and stir to combine. Continue to stir, adding pasta water as needed, until a light creamy sauce is formed. Add the spinach and toss to combine. Cook for another minute, until the spinach is just barely wilted. Serve hot.

PASTA WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE AND RADICCHIO



Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce and Radicchio image

This rich and flavorful sauce is the perfect match for bitter radicchio. It is incredibly easy to make and goes well with any type of (preferably fresh) pasta. My favorite pasta to have this with is gnocchi. The light and fluffy potato pasta goes well with the rich sauce. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley.
