Fresh pasta with chicory and gorgonzola

By Phillippa Cheifitz
2 to 3
Easy
10 minutes
10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 2-3 heads chicory, thinly sliced lengthways
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100-150 g Gorgonzola, crumbled
  • 250 g fresh tagliolini, cooked until al dente
  • A handful of rocket leaves

Method

In a pan over a medium to low heat, gently warm the oil with the garlic until the latter turns golden. Remove the garlic and add the chicory. Sauté for a few minutes until tender crisp.

Season to taste, then add the cheese. Toss the chicory-cheese mixture with the hot, just-cooked pasta, check seasoning, add a few tufts of rocket and serve immediately.

Cook’s notes: If necessary, loosen the dish with a little of the pasta water or vegetable stock or add a drizzle of olive oil. For a richer sauce, warm the cheese with a dash of cream before adding it. Add shredded ham or thinly sliced raw tuna along with the cheese.
