Gorgonzola Pear Pasta

Occasionally I crave meat and lots of it. Other times I crave simple vegetarian dishes.

Here is a simple but delicious meal that is a favorite in our home.

Gorgonzola Pear Pasta
  • 2 pears, skinned, sliced into wedges
  • 1 sweet onion, sliced into thin wedges
  • 5oz of Gorgonzola (or 1 tub of crumbles)
  • 1 package of pasta (we like farfalle - bowtie)
  • Olive oil
  • Grated or shredded Parmesan cheese

    Bring pot of water to boil for pasta and cook while preparing onion/pear mixture.

    Prepare onion and pears. Heat olive oil in pan and add onion. Saute until translucent then add pears. Saute pears and onion on medium-low heat adding more olive oil if necessary. Cook until lightly browned on all sides. Turn off heat.

    Bon appetit!
