Ingredients

  • 8.8 ounces pasta, such as Strozzapretti or Caserecce
  • 1/2 pound pancetta (cut into 1/2 inch dice)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 shallots (peeled and chopped)
  • 1 8-ounce container cherry tomatoes, halved

  • 1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 pound gorgonzola dolce cheese
  • 1 5-ounce package baby spinach, roughly chopped

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the cavatelli 2 minutes less than the package directions. Drain well reserving 1 1/2 cups of pasta water.
  2. Meanwhile, add the pancetta and olive oil to a large skillet and warm over medium high heat. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until the pancetta is crispy, about 8 minutes. Add the shallots and cook another minute until fragrant. Add the tomatoes and season with the salt. Cook, stirring often for about 4 minutes or until the tomatoes are beginning to soften. Add the pasta to the pan along with ½ cup of pasta water. Scatter the gorgonzola over the pasta and stir to combine. Continue to stir, adding pasta water as needed, until a light creamy sauce is formed. Add the spinach and toss to combine. Cook another minute until the spinach is just barely wilted. Serve hot.
