Ingredients
  • One pound dried Orecchiette pasta
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 12 ounces of bitter greens or broccolini, rinsed
  • 2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 Spanish anchovy filets, finely chopped
  • 6 ounces of blue cheese or gorgonzola
  • 1 cup of creme fraiche
Instructions
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil This recipe comes together really quickly, so you can cook the pasta while you cook the greens and sauce. Drop the orecchiette into the boiling water and set a timer for two minutes less than the package instructions.
  2. Melt the butter in a saute pan large enough to hold all of the greens. When the pan is hot, add the garlic and cook just until it begins to soften, then add the greens. When the greens begin to soften, add the anchovies and blue cheese. Stir frequently to melt the blue cheese. Add the creme fraiche and stir until the sauce is creamy. Salt to taste. If the pasta is not finished by this time, reduce the heat and keep warm.
  3. When the pasta is finished, reserve a half cup of the pasta cooking water and strain the pasta. Add the pasta to the sauce, along with a splash of pasta cooking water. Simmer for about two minutes, or until the pasta is perfectly done. Season with salt if necessary and serve immediately.
