AUTORE:
TIPO DI RICETTA: Pasta
CUCINA: Italian
PORZIONI: 4
INGREDIENTI
  • 380 g of wholemeal cellentani (or other short pasta)
  • a bunch of green celery
  • 150 g of gorgonzola cheese
  • 100 g of ricotta cheese
  • milk
  • 50 g of kernels, chopped
  • a pinch of salt
  • 30 g of butter
  • paprika
  • grated Parmesan cheese to sprinkle (discretionary)
COME PROCEDERE
  1. Wash the celery. Remove the harder stalks one by one and, with the help of a potato peeler, also the filaments.
  2. Chop both the stalks and the tenderer leaves. Set aside.
  3. Cut the gorgonzola into small cubes.
  4. Use a hand blender to blend the gorgonzola with the ricotta, the salt and just a trickle of milk. You have to get an homogeneous sauce. Set aside.
  5. Fill a pot with abundant water and put it on the stove. When the water boils, add the salt and cook the pasta until “al dente”.
  6. Drain with a colander and set aside one or two tablespoons of its cooking water.
  7. In a large non-stick saucepan, melt the butter. Pour the pasta in the pan and add the cheese sauce, stirring well with a wooden spoon.
  8. Add also the chopped celery, the kernels and just enough cooking water, if necessary. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
  9. Finally, sprinkle with paprika and grated Parmesan cheese.
  10. Serve immediately.
