Spaghetti With Orange Peppers and Gorgonzola
- 14 cup extra virgin olive oil (actually I probably used about three tablespoons)
- 1 onion, peeled, quartered and sliced into strips
- 4 orange bell peppers, seeded and deribbed, cut into thin strips
- 3 -4 fresh basil leaves, cut into julienne
- 12 lb dolce latte gorgonzola
- salt
- fresh ground pepper
- 1 lb spaghetti (angel hair)
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- Thinly slice the peppers and onions.
- Saute in olive oil until they are tender and just beginning to brown around the edges.
- Add salt, pepper, and basil.
- Toss and set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, then the pasta.
- When the pasta is al dente, scoop out and set aside about one cup of the cooking water and then drain the pasta.
- Toss it in a large bowl with the Gorgonzola.
- Use some of the reserved cooking water if it seems a little dry.
- I sometimes find Gorgonzola overpowering so I'd suggest initially adding less than the 1/2 pound called for, and then adding the rest to taste.
- Add the onion and pepper mixture.
- Toss more.
- Taste.
- Adjust seasonings and add more Gorgonzola if you wish.
- Garnish with additional basil leaves and serve with freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
