Rigatoni with Pears and Gorgonzola

Rigatoni with Pears and Gorgonzola

Delightfully mild yet layered with flavor this amazing pasta dish is a unique tribute to the traditional Italian combination of pears, cheese and walnuts. I originally was served this dish when visiting in Italy and was completely surprised at the subtleness of the gorgonzola and pears! The addition of walnuts adds not only a nice crunch but just a hint of tartness to compliment the pears.  If you want, substitute non fat half and half for full cream without any loss of creaminess. Don’t be afraid of using your favorite blue cheese if gorgonzola is not available in your local market!
