This is a cozy comfort classic with a twist. Came from the Liberty Cafe chefs. Got it years ago. Great with beef filet or can double as a main dish. Ingredients:
8 ounces pasta sea shells |
1/2 cup heavy cream |
6 ounces gorgonzola, crumbled, 1 ounce reserved |
freshly ground black pepper |
1 slice bread, coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts |
paprika |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to directions until just tender
2. Combine cream, 5 ounces gorgonzola in medium saucepan
3. Stir constantly over LOW heat until cheese is almost melted, about 5 minutes
4. Drain pasta when done
5. Return pasta to pot, add cheese sauce
6. Stir over medium heat until sauce thickens slightly about 2 minutes
7. Add pepper to taste
8. Pour mixture into a shallow baking dish
9. Combine breadcrumbs and nuts and sprinkle topping over the pasta
10. Dot with remaining 1 ounce gorgonzola
11. Can brown under broiler until crunchy and brown
12. NOTE: I make *buttered* breadcrumbs from hearty, course bread, then mix with toasted walnuts and do not brown under broiler, your choice
