Real Italian Recipes: Pasta al Radicchio e Gorgonzola!

Impress your friends with a very special Italian dish: wonderfully easy and amazingly tasting!

Learn the basics of cooking pasta and get to know a couple of special ingredients: say hello to Mr. Gorgonzola - an italian blue cheese - and Mrs. Radicchio - also know as red chicory overseas.

Step 1 Ingredients

This is what you'll need for two portions:

- good pasta pennette : don't get the cheap one! never save money on important things... :)
- a small portion of Gorgonzola cheese (or Roquefort - or another blue cheese if you just can't find it)
- 1 Plant of red chicory (is this the real name? couldn't find another match for radicchio)
- Parmiggiano Cheese
- a bit of onion
- salt

looks AMAZing! can't go wrong w/gorgonzola. i agree w/comment "never save money on important things." Great ingredients are a must for great food! don't skimp out..

fresh pasta would raise the roof on this dish.

I've made a variant: I used dandelion greens instead of radicchio and Bleu d'Auvergne instead of Gorgonzola. It's still delicious!

I LOVE PASTA! -- This sounds good because of the strong flavor of gorgonzola and the spicy radicchio I will definitely try it!

That sounds fantastic, and totally easy!
Yes, I believe radicchio is a specific type of chicory- we use both words.

never save money on important things...
A wise idea.
