This pear pasta dish is a delicious combination of the unique flavor of Gorgonzola cheese and the sweetness of fresh pears. Brush the pear cubes with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
Ingredients
- 9 ounces penne pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 large pear, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup chopped toasted walnuts
- ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.
Step 2
Return drained pasta to the pot; stir butter, Parmesan cheese, and Gorgonzola cheese into pasta and place over medium heat; cook until the cheese is completely melted. Pour cream into pasta mixture; stir. Remove from heat and fold in pear. Top with walnuts. Season with pepper and serve.
