Baked Gorgonzola Pasta Gratin

Baked gorgonzola pasta is a creamy and flavorful dish that pairs the richness of the cheese with a crispy crust thanks to the gratin.

Ingredients

• 350 g short pasta (penne, rigatoni, or fusilli)
• 200 g sweet gorgonzola
• 200 ml cooking cream
• 50 g grated parmesan
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Butter for greasing the baking dish
• Breadcrumbs to taste

Preparation

1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C. Grease a baking dish with a little butter and sprinkle the bottom with breadcrumbs.
2. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until al dente. Drain and set aside.
3. Cut the gorgonzola into pieces and place it in a pan over low heat with the cream, stirring until the gorgonzola has completely melted and the sauce is smooth. Adjust salt and pepper.
4. Add the cooked pasta to the gorgonzola sauce and mix well to distribute the sauce evenly.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, sprinkle the grated parmesan over the top, and, if you want a crispier crust, add an extra layer of breadcrumbs.
6. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the surface is golden and crispy.
7. Let the baked pasta rest for a few minutes before serving.

Baked gorgonzola pasta is a classic Italian comfort food, perfect on cold days or when you crave something rich and indulgent. This combination of flavors is a true delight for the palate, especially for cheese lovers.
