Radicchio with Pappardelle

Serves 4

2 heads Treviso radicchio

1 medium yellow onion

1/4 lb pancetta or slab bacon

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Salt and freshly ground pepper

1 lb pappardelle (or any wide flat noodle)

enough salted water in which to boil pasta

freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano

Core, then julienne, 2 heads radicchio. Peel, then chop onion. Julienne pancetta or bacon. Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat: add pancetta and brown, stirring occasionally, for 5–10 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low and add onion. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is golden, about 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pappardelle in large pot of salted water until al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain pasta, reserving 1/2 cup cooking water. Add radicchio to onion and pancetta mixture, and cook, stirring, until radicchio is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add pasta and reserved cooking water, mix well, season with salt and pepper, and serve topped with freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano.
