Bacon Radicchio Pasta
Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 16 oz spaghetti or other pasta
- 1 large onion, diced
- 5-6 slices bacon, cooked
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small radicchio, cored and chopped
- 4-6 tbsp red wine vinegar
- ½-1 cup crumbled gorgonzola or other blue cheese
- 2 tbs parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Cook the pasta in a lot of well-salted water and strain, reserving a mug full of the cooking water.
- While pasta is cooking, heat a splash of olive oil in a pan. Cook the onions over medium heat until soft and translucent.
- Add the garlic, cooked bacon, and radicchio and continue cooking for about a minute.
- Add the red wine vinegar and let it cook off for another minute or so.
- Turn the heat down to low. Add the cooked pasta and crumbled gorgonzola to the pan, and stir while drizzling a little pasta water over everything.
- Continue cooking on low until the sauce is melty and coating the pasta.
- Toss in the parsley, season with salt and pepper, and serve. Top with a little more parsley—or even some toasted walnuts if you have them.
