Directions

  1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the penne in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, drain.

  2. Return the drained pasta to the pot, stir the butter, Parmesan cheese, and Gorgonzola cheese into the pasta and place over medium heat, cook until the cheese is completely melted. Pour the cream into the pasta mixture, stir. Remove from heat and fold the pear into the pasta mixture. Top with walnuts. Season with pepper to serve.

Recipe Note

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.
