This is a traditional Italian pasta dish, which my mum brought home from one of her trips to Italy. It has a creamy cheese note, which combines very well with the slightly bitter taste of the lettuce. Ingredients:
500 g orecchiette (pasta shaped like small flat hats) |
4 -5 medium onions |
1/2 radicchio |
1 fresh red chili pepper |
100 -200 g parmesan cheese (depending on how cheesy you would like your dish to be) |
olive oil |
1 garlic clove |
salt |
pepper |
Directions:
1. Boil the pasta in salted water until it is al dente (aprox. 11 minutes).
2. While the pasta is cooking, chop the onion into thin slices and stew it in a frying pan toghether with olive oil, salt, pepper, chili and the squashed clove of garlic.
3. When the onion is smudgy , add the chopped radicchio.
4. If necessary add more olive oil and turn the mixture over after 3-4 minutes.
5. When the pasta is ready, pour off the water.
6. Then add the onion and radicchio mixture and finally the grated parmesan cheese. Blend well.
7. Enjoy (e.g. with a nice side salad or ciabatta bread)!
