O rețetă rapidă și sofisticată din nordul Italiei: penne al dente învăluite în radicchio roșu călit delicat în ulei de măsline extra virgin cu usturoi și desăvârșite cu parmezan fin ras. O cină gata în doar 20 de minute!
Preparation method
Bring a large pot of water with sea salt to a boil. When the water boils, add the 350 g of Penne pasta and cook al dente according to the package instructions (about 10-11 minutes). Reserve half a cup of the pasta cooking water before draining.
Wash the 250 g of Red radicchio, remove the base, and cut the leaves into thin strips. Peel and thinly slice the 2 cloves of garlic.
In a large skillet, heat the 40 ml of Extra virgin olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, without browning it excessively.
Chef's tip
The pasta water is the secret to a creamy sauce: the starch in it emulsifies perfectly with the olive oil and grated parmesan, creating a delicious gloss without cream.
If you want to slightly temper the characteristic bitterness of red radicchio leaves, you can add a few drops of balsamic vinegar or fresh lemon juice to the pan while sautéing them.
