Mezzemaniche with Grappa
Wash the salad well, dry and cut into strips.
Slice the onion and fry lightly in a pan with about three tablespoons of oil, add the radicchio (cicory) and cook for a few minutes.
Sprinkle with the Grappa and let it evaporate, then blend with the wine for a couple of minutes and add the cream and provolone, cut into small cubes and continue cooking for 4-5 minutes.
Meanwhile cook pasta "al dente", drain and lower it into the pan containing all the mixture.
Add a few tablespoons of the cooking water and pan-fry for a few minutes. Sauté the pasta, sprinkled with a little freshly ground pepper and a handful of parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
