Farfalle with Creamy Mushroom Gorgonzola Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 1/2 cups whole milk, at room temperature
- 5 ounces creamy Gorgonzola cheese, cubed
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 pound assorted mushrooms (such as cremini, oyster, stemmed shiitake), sliced
- 3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 1 pound farfalle pasta
- In a 2-quart saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- When the butter starts to sizzle, add the flour and whisk until smooth and the flour loses its raw flavor, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully add the milk all at once and whisk until smooth.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer.
- Simmer for 2 minutes, whisking constantly.
- Remove from the heat.
- Add the Gorgonzola and stir until melted.
- Season the sauce to taste with salt and pepper.
- Set aside and cover to keep warm.
- Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat.
- Add the mushrooms and saute until tender and golden, about 12 minutes.
- Stir in the peas.
- Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the farfalle and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking together, about 10 minutes.
- Drain.
- Transfer the pasta to a large bowl.
- Add the Gorgonzola sauce and mushroom mixture, and toss to coat.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
