  • Total Time: 22 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 white onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 chilli, finely chopped
  • 200 g pasta (rigatoni or penne)
  • 600 ml chicken stock (or broth)
  • 100 g gorgonzola, broken into crumbles

Garnishes and Toppings

  • 5 g chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp sunflower seeds
  • 1 tbsp hot honey (or combine 1 tbsp honey with 1/4 tsp chilli flakes)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Flaky salt, to season

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Place a pan with a lid on low-medium heat and drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the thinly sliced onions, finely chopped garlic, and chopped chilli. Season with flaky salt and fry for about 5 minutes until the onions are softened and lightly caramelised, stirring occasionally.
  2. Add Pasta and Liquids: Once the onions are softened, add the pasta to the pan, followed by the chicken stock and crumbled gorgonzola cheese. The stock should just about cover the pasta. Stir the ingredients well and increase the heat to medium. Stir every few minutes to prevent the pasta from sticking to the pan. Let the stock gently bubble for around 8 minutes.
  3. Simmer with Lid: After about two-thirds of the water has evaporated (approximately 8 minutes), reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with the lid. Allow the pasta to simmer gently for another 3 minutes.
  4. Check and Adjust: After a total cooking time of 10 to 12 minutes, remove the lid and check if the pasta is cooked. If it is still firm and the sauce has thickened too much, add about 100 ml of water and let it simmer without the lid until the pasta reaches your desired texture and the sauce is at your preferred consistency. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  5. Serve and Garnish: Serve the pasta hot, garnished with finely chopped chives, sunflower seeds, and drizzled with hot honey or honey mixed with chili flakes for a spicy-sweet finish. Enjoy your flavorful one-pan meal!

Notes

  • You can substitute chicken stock with vegetable stock to make this recipe vegetarian.
  • If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce or omit the chilli.
  • Stirring the pasta regularly during cooking prevents it from sticking and ensures even cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of hot honey or chili flakes according to your spice preference.
  • Using pasta shapes like rigatoni or penne helps hold the sauce well.
