Gorgonzola Pasta With Vegetables Recipes

GORGONZOLA PASTA WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Boil water in a large pot. Add 1 teaspoon salt and a little olive oil to boiling water if desired. Add pasta and set a timer for 8 minutes.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a frying pan. Add mushrooms, garlic, onion, and optional pancetta/bacon/chicken. Stir occasionally and cook until the ingredients start to brown. Then add optional tomatoes and cook for 2 more minutes.
• When the timer for the pasta goes off, add the broccoli and cook for an additional 2 minutes. The pasta should be al dente and broccoli lightly cooked at this point. Drain the pasta and broccoli and return to the pot.
• Stir mushroom mixture into the pasta. Then gently stir in the crumbled gorgonzola cheese and let sit for a minute or two-you want the cheese to soften, not form a sauce. Season with a little salt and pepper if desired.
• Serve up and garnish with Parmesan cheese, and enjoy!
