Hey guys,


even if you are not the best one in the kitchen - this one is a cooking recipe even beginners can easy learn and can impress their loved ones. I takes only 15 minutes of your precious time and you dont need to buy a lot of stuff for this wonderful dish.


This recipe is from my lovely mother-in-law and when my husband cooked it for me the first time I was really amazed how only 3 ingredients can taste that good.


One Thing, it is not for somebody who is on a diet. This one is especially during the winter months a great dish and for sure nothing that you will loose weight from. For your guilty conscience you can do a extra mile tomorrow for it. The taste is worth the extra calories. I swear.

Ingredients (2 Persons):


250 grams Linguine (my favorite for this dish are Linguine from the Italian brand "De Cecco")

200 grams of creme fraiche

200 grams of (make sure you buy "dolce", which means sweet one!) Gorgonzola

100 grams of cooked ham

Directions:


1. Cook linguine. 

2. During that time cut the ham into small cubes.
3. Cut the Gorgonzola (remember it hast to be a "sweet" in Italy called "dolce" one) into small cubes.
4. Melt creme fraiche in a large skillet, reduce heat to low, stir in the cheese and keep on stirring constantly till the creme fraiche and the Gorgonzola will build a creamy Sauce. The less you heat the cheese, the better. 
5. When you reached the creamy consistence add the squared ham into the Sauce and stir it again for some minutes. 
6. When ready drain the Linguine and put the Linguine to the skillet and mix it with the Sauce.
7. Remove from heat and toss with pepper to taste.

As the Italians say: Boun Appetito! Enjoy your Pasta guys !

Ciao Tutti,

Hey guys - no I don't switch into Italian now. 
Im not even sure if this recipe is from origin Italian, it was a recipe a neighbor (non Italian, pretty German) gave me some time ago and I really kept it everywhere with me because it is so simple, healthy and EASY to make. 

So no excuses, you better take the risk or lose the chance! Lets go !

This recipe has not many ingredients, so the ingredients you shop should be a high quality standard to make the pasta sauce as good as you wish the taste to be.
Of course you can also make fresh pasta, but when it has to be a fast then I would recommend you to buy some Pasta (Linguine) from your favorite brand.

Ingredients for 2 persones:

- One portion of ginger, should be around the size of your thumb. 
- Olive Oil (no cheap one, please!).
- Pasta (Linguine) 250g. 
- Cherry Tomatoes (500g cherry tomatoes).
- 1 teaspoon freshly grounded pepper.
- 1 teaspoon of salt.
- A cup of Mint, if you don't need all of the Mint keep some for later for decorating your
   pasta. 
- 50 g freshly grated Parmesan (depends on how much you like) for the sauce, keep some
  grated Parmesan also for serving.

Preperation:

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until al dente; drain and transfer to a large bowl.
  1. Meanwhile, heat oil in a wide heavy saucepan over medium-high. Add ginger (thinly sliced), then tomatoes (quartered), pepper and salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tomatoes burst and release their juices to form a sauce, 6–8 minutes. Add then the grated parmesan underneath and keep stirring it all together. When the parmesan is melting together with the tomato ginger sauce you can add the thinly sliced mint and mix everything together.
  1. Toss pasta with tomato ginger mint parmesan sauce. Top with grated Parmesan, some fresh mint and some freshly grounded pepper.
Enjoy your dinner !!!
