Spaghetti With Fresh Spinach And Gorgonzola Recipes

QUICK 30-MINUTE SPAGHETTI WITH SPINACH GORGONZOLA AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large saute pan to medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast for about 3 minutes tossing them in the pan. Let them cool slightly, then chop finely.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, place spaghetti in and cook for the recommended time on the package, or a minute less.
• At around the last 3 minutes of the pasta cooking time, in the same saute pan where you toasted the walnuts, toss in butter and olive oil, and melt on medium heat. Then, throw in spinach and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook 2-3 minutes, stirring periodically until wilted.
• Take spaghetti out of water with a strainer and toss into pan with spinach. Add cubed gorgonzola and grated Parmigiano, and toss well on low heat adding pasta water a little at a time to form a creamy sauce. Taste for seasoning and sprinkle with ground black pepper.
• Plate pasta and garnish with chopped walnuts. Add some of the creamy sauce on top along with some grated Parmigiano, and most of all, enjoy.

GORGONZOLA PASTA WITH SPINACH AND WALNUTS

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
• Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a large skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the walnuts to a cutting board (reserve the skillet) and let cool slightly, then very finely chop.
• In the last 2 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, gorgonzola, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the skillet. Toss until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed; season with salt.
• Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with the walnuts. Drizzle any remaining sauce in the skillet on top.

SPAGHETTI WITH FRESH SPINACH AND GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. In a small bowl, mush together the Gorgonzola and butter until you have a smooth paste. Set aside but do not refrigerate. Wash the spinach in plenty of cold water. Drain in a colander, leaving the water clinging to the leaves. Heat the olive oil in a large straight-sided skillet over moderately high heat. Add the spinach and 1 teaspoon of the salt. Toss the spinach with tongs until it has wilted. Taste it to add more salt if necessary. Turn off the heat, but keep the spinach warm on the side of the stove. Generously salt the pasta water and drop in the spaghetti. Cook at a rolling boil, stirring until al dents. Drain the pasta, reserving about up of the cooking water. Transfer the spaghetti to the skillet and toss with the spinach. Add the Gorgonzola-butter mixture and toss to coat each strand of spaghetti. If the pasta seems dry, add a bit of cooking water and toss again. Add as much of the cooking water as you need to make a creamy consistency. If you have fresh basil, tear the leaves and toss into the spaghetti. Serve right away.
