Follow The Directions

01

Step
12 mins

Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the farfalle pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Drain the pasta, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. Return the pasta to the pot and set aside.

02

Step
3 mins

While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced shallot and cook until softened and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute more, being careful not to burn it.

03

Step
6 mins

Pour in the white wine and bring to a simmer. Cook until the wine has reduced by about half, concentrating its flavor, about 5 minutes.

04

Step
6 mins

Reduce the heat to low. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and chicken stock to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 5-7 minutes. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

05

Step
2 mins

Add the shredded chicken and chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the Gorgonzola sauce. Stir to combine and heat through, about 2 minutes.

06

Step
2 mins

Pour the sauce over the cooked pasta in the pot. Toss gently to coat, adding a splash of the reserved pasta water if needed to achieve your desired consistency. The sauce should cling to the pasta.

07

Step
0 mins

Divide the pasta among serving bowls. Top with grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.

For a richer flavor, use a high-quality Gorgonzola Dolce.
If you don't have sun-dried tomatoes, you can use roasted red peppers for a similar sweetness.
A pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice touch of heat.
Garnish with fresh parsley or basil for a pop of color and freshness.
To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the chicken and add some sautéed mushrooms or spinach.
The pasta water is starchy and helps to emulsify the sauce, making it cling to the pasta better. Don't skip this step!
Serve with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.

    I found the sauce a bit too rich, so next time I'll use a little less Gorgonzola.

  • Hadley Kautzer

    I didn't have any shallots, so I used a small onion instead. It worked out great!

  • Nasir Gislason

    I used grilled chicken instead of rotisserie chicken, and it was fantastic.
