Ingredients
- 2/3 pound spaghetti
- 3 tsp butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
- 1 ¼ cup pear chopped in cubes
- 12 slices pear
- 1 1/2 cup gorgonzola dolce chopped in cubes
- 2 tbsp walnuts chopped
- 4 tsp parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot filled with water to a boil. Once the water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of coarse sea salt.
- Meanwhile, wash and dry the pears - you will need 3 - and cut it in half. Cut 2/3 slices from each half. Then cut the pear in half and remove the core. Squeeze some lemon so they do not get too dark. Peel and slice the rest of the pears and cut them into half inch cubes.
- Add 2 tbsp of oil to a pan and gently fry the pear slices until they are lightly browned, take them out and pat them on kitchen paper. Add a little salt to taste. Wipe the oil from the pan, add 3 tbsp of butter and the pear cubes. Let them cook slowly a few minutes.
- Throw the pasta into the boiling water and cook until al dente. While the pasta is cooking, melt slowly the gorgonzola into the same pan of the pear cubes. Before draining the pasta, preserve a few tablespoon of pasta cooking water.
- Toss the pasta into the pan and mix. Add 2 tbsp of cooking water and saute 2 more minutes. Arrange the pasta on a plate and serve the roasted pears on the side of the pasta. Add some walnuts, parsley and some crushed black pepper. Serve it!
