Gorgonzola Pear Pasta

INGREDIENTS

• 9 ounces penne pasta
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 large pear, peeled and cubed
• 1/2 cup chopped toasted walnuts
• ground black pepper to taste

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.
