Triple Cheese Pasta With Green Peas

Original | MetricPrint

Pasta

In a small bowl, mash the Gorgonzola and butter. In a medium bowl, combine the mozzarella, Fontina, olive oil, and pepper. Using a steamer rack, steam the peas over moderate heat until tender, until 5-7 minutes. Alternatively the peas can be cooked in the microwave about 3-4 minutes or until done. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook rotelle until tender but still firm to the bite 5-7 minutes, drain well. Meanwhile, place the Gorgonzola and butter mixture in a large warmed bowl and let melt. Add the pasta and peas to the bowl. Toss to coat well. Sprinkle with the chives, add the mozzarella and Fontina mixture and toss again. Season with salt and additional pepper to taste. SOURCE: The Best of Food and Wine, 1993 Collection Cookbook.
