4 servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
cupUncooked bow-tie pasta
2teaspoonsOlive oil
5ouncesAssorted mushrooms, sliced
¼poundsRadicchio coarsely chopped
cupHeavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
¼cupParmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 400F.

Cook the pasta in boiling salted water until al dente. Leave the pasta more al dente than usual because it will soften considerably during baking. Drain and reserve.

Heat the olive oil in a 10-inch skillet over high heat. Add the mushroom slices and saut, tossing frequently, until the mushrooms are browned, 2-3 minutes.

Combine the cooked pasta, sauted mushrooms, radicchio, cream, salt and pepper in a 6-cup gratin dish or shallow casserole. Stir to combine, then sprinkle the Parmesan over the gratin.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the cream has thickened and the gratin is browned on top. Serve immediately.
