Pasta Al Radicchio Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente.
• While pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large, straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, anchovies, and raisins, and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Stir in pine nuts.
• Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water. Add pasta to the pan, and stir to combine. Moisten with pasta water as necessary. Stir in half the pecorino, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Divide pasta between 4 plates, and top each with a dollop of ricotta, a handful of radicchio, and a sprinkling of the remaining pecorino.

Steps:

• Remove core and outer leaves of radicchio, and chop fine.

If radicchio is no longer bitter, let it simmer until soft and water has evaporated. If it remains bitter, pour off excess water, add another 1/4 cup of water and simmer until it is soft and water evaporates. The double simmering should remove any bitterness.
