Baked Short Fusilli Bucati With Gorgonzola Pancetta Mushrooms Recipes

BAKED SHORT FUSILLI BUCATI WITH GORGONZOLA, PANCETTA & MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Bring a pan of water to boil for the pasta. Generously salt the boiling water and drop in the pasta when it comes back to the boil.
• Cook until a couple of minutes before the length of time stated in the cooking instructions. The pasta needs be a bit too hard to eat; it cooks further in the oven.
• Drain the pasta, reserving about 1 cup water.
• While you are boiling the water for the pasta, heat the olive oil in a frying pan or skillet Add the onion and cook until it begins to soften.
• Add the pancetta and continue cooking until it starts to brown.
• Add all the mushrooms and continue cooking them until they brown slightly.
• Add the white wine and some fresh parsley continue cooking until the wine has partially evaporated and the mushrooms are cooked.
• Now add the gorgonzola whilst stirring continuously until it melts.
• You can use the milk or water from the pasta to make the sauce more liquid
• Add half the grated parmesan and continue to stir adding milk or water as required. Don't let the sauce get too thick or dry.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Mix the pasta with the ready sauce and transfer to a greased oven dish (I use a bit of butter).
• Sprinkle the rest of the parmigiano on top and add a few pieces of butter. Bake in a preheated hot oven (180-200°c) for 10 minutes or until the top starts to get brown and crunchy!
• Remove from the oven and let the dish stand for a couple of minutes.
• Serve with extra grated parmigiano as required.
