FISH WITH GORGONZOLA SPINACH AND LEMON PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta, a minute less than the time indicated on the package (it will be cooked later on a pan for a while). Reserve some pasta cooking water (about 1/4 cup).
• While the pasta is cooking, rinse the spinach and cut off thicker stalks.
• Cook the fish: Pat dry the fish with paper towels, season well with salt, pepper, and thyme. Sprinkle with flour, gently shake off the excess.
• On a large frying pan heat the clarified butter over medium-high heat. When the butter is hot add the fish. Cook for about 2-4 minutes on one side, until nicely brown, turn over and cook for 1-2 minutes. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish. Be careful to not overcook the fish (it will be rubbery and dry). When the meat changes its color from translucent to white - it's ready. Transfer the fish to a plate lined with paper towels.
• Make the sauce: Add gorgonzola, lemon juice, lemon zest, cream, and about 1/4 cup pasta cooking water to the pan. Stir until the cheese is melted.
• Add spinach and cooked pasta to the pan. Cook over low heat for about a minute or until spinach is wilted.
• Season to taste with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice if necessary, serve with the fish.
• Enjoy!

GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 2 quarts water in a deep skillet to boiling. Preheat the broiler.
• Grease a 2 quart baking dish or gratin dish with cooking spray.
• Add gnocchi to boiling water and cook until they float, about 3 minutes. Remove to prepared baking dish with a slotted spoon.
• Combine cheese, butter, cream and pepper in a small saucepan over medium heat.
• Cook, whisking occasionally until smooth; pour over gnocchi.
• Sprinkle with nuts. Broil 6 inches from heat source until bubbly, about 5 minutes.

CURRY PRAWNS

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan over a low-medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 15 mins until soft and starting to caramelise, stirring regularly. Add the garlic, ginger, tomatoes and the chilli, if using. Turn the heat up to medium and cook for another 10 mins.
• Meanwhile, if you're using shell-on prawns, prepare them now. Remove the head and, using a pair of scissors, cut down the back of the shell until you reach the last segment of shell that's attached to the tail. Cut through the top layer of flesh on the back of each prawn so it's easy to remove the vein - loosen it from the body, then with your fingers as close to the tail as possible, pull gently to remove the vein completely. You can keep the heads and shells to make a stock.
• Mix the ground spices and tamarind paste with 2 tbsp water, then add to the onion mix. Cook for 5 mins until the spices are fragrant and most of the water has evaporated.
• Stir in the coconut milk and cook for 5-10 mins until reduced to a thick gravy, then tip in the prawns. Cook for 5 mins until they are just pink, then remove from the heat. Serve with rice.

CHANTERELLE MUSHROOM SAUCE WITH GORGONZOLA

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes. Gradually whisk sherry wine and broth into the flour mixture, and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat to a simmer.
• Stir in Gorgonzola cheese until melted. Add mushrooms, seasoning blend, and pepper; simmer over medium-low heat until sauce has reduced and desired thickness is achieved, about 30 minutes. I think it's just about perfect when the bubbles start to look like a heavy rain hitting the ground.

GORGONZOLA SHRIMP PASTA

Steps:

• Cook penne according to package directions for al dente. Meanwhile, in a large cast-iron skillet or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium heat. Add shrimp and garlic; cook until shrimp are pink, 5-10 minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm., Stir cranberries and wine into same pan. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is almost evaporated, about 5 minutes., Drain penne, reserving 1 cup of pasta water; add penne to pan. Stir in spinach, cream cheese, Gorgonzola cheese, parsley, salt and reserved shrimp. Cook and stir until mixture is heated through and cheeses are melted, about 5 minutes, adding enough reserved pasta water to reach desired consistency. Top with chopped walnuts.

GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the gnocchi.
• Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat. (If you plan to cook the gnocchi as soon as they are formed, put the water on to boil while the riced potatoes are cooling. If you are cooking previously frozen gnocchi, make sure the water is boiling before you remove the gnocchi from the freezer.)
• Bring the stock, cream, and butter to a boil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper and boil until the sauce is lightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Gorgonzola until dissolved.
• Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water a few at a time, stirring gently and continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook just until they rise to the surface and roll over, 2 to 3 minutes. If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and gnocchi, gently scoop the gnocchi out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and add them directly to the sauce in the skillet. If not, drain the gnocchi gently, return them to the pot, and pour in the sauce. Bring the sauce and gnocchi to a boil, stirring gently to coat the gnocchi with sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Check the seasoning, adding salt if necessary. Serve immediately in warm bowls.
