Gorgonzola Pear Pasta

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

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.

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.
