Farfalle And Broccoli Salad With Gorgonzola Dressing Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally. After 5 minutes, add the broccoli florets to the pasta and stir and cook for another 4 minutes. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
• Meanwhile, in a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic, anchovies, and red pepper flakes and cook for 5 minutes. Add the broccoli, pasta, salt and pepper and toss. Add some of the reserved pasta water, if necessary, to make a light sauce. Transfer to a serving platter and sprinkle with Parmesan.

Steps:

• Cook broccoli stems in large pot of boiling salted water 2 minutes. Add florets and cook until stems and florets are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes longer. Using slotted spoon, transfer broccoli to strainer. Refresh under cold water. Drain.
• Bring same pot of water to boil. Add pasta; cook until just tender but still firm to bite. Drain. Rinse under cold water.
• Whisk mayonnaise, sour cream, and vinegar in large bowl. Add half of Gorgonzola cheese. Using rubber spatula, mash until cheese is almost smooth. Stir in remaining cheese. Add pasta, green onions, celery, parsley, and broccoli; toss to coat. Season salad to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and gorgonzola. Using a wooden spoon, stir the mixture to combine the cheese through the mixture. Loosen up the mix with the buttermilk, a tablespoon at a time, until it comes to a salad dressing consistency. Season the mix with salt, and pepper, to taste. Stir in the fresh herbs.
• Place a wedge of lettuce on a plate, coat liberally with the blue cheese dressing, and crumble some cooked bacon on top of the dressing. Dress each plate with 2 halved tomatoes, some blue cheese, and season with a little bit of salt and pepper.
