Radicchio offers a slightly bitter note that's offset by creamy ricotta.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 teaspoon active dry yeast
3/4 cup warm water (about 110 degrees)
Pinch of sugar
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for bowl and drizzling
2 heads Treviso radicchio (5 ounces each), quartered lengthwise
1 cup fresh ricotta cheese

Steps:

  • Stir together yeast, water, and sugar in a large bowl, and let stand until foamy, about 5 minutes. Stir in flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the oil until combined. Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface, and knead with floured hands until smooth, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a large oiled bowl, and cover with plastic wrap. Let stand in a warm, draft-free spot for 20 minutes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Divide dough into quarters. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 piece of dough to 8 by 5 inches. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with remaining dough. Divide radicchio among flatbread, and gently press into dough. Drizzle with oil; season with salt and pepper. Bake until flatbread is golden and crisp, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk ricotta in a small bowl until lightened. Drizzle flatbread with oil; season with salt and pepper. Serve flatbread with ricotta.

ROASTED RADICCHIO

Roasting the radicchio mellows its slightly bitter flavor; balsamic vinegar adds a touch of sweetness. You can use either of the popular varieties of radicchio-round Verona or slender Treviso-in this recipe, since they both yield delicious results. Serve the radicchio wedges alongside the pasta.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 medium heads radicchio, quartered lengthwise
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 ounce Parmesan cheese, preferably Parmigiano-Reggiano, shaved

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Put radicchio wedges on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Toss gently to coat, and turn each wedge so a cut side faces sheet. Roast, turning once, until leaves are wilted and slightly charred, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer to a platter.
  • Just before serving, drizzle vinegar over each wedge, and garnish with cheese shavings.
