By

Ingredients

  • 6 oz Gorgonzola cheese, cut into pieces
  • 1 cup whipping cream or half and half
  • 3/4 lb linguine
  • Pepper
  • 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted hazelnuts
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pecans
  • 1/4 cup chopped toasted pine nuts

Preparation

Step 1

Place Gorgonzola in heavy large skillet. Gradually whisk in cream. Cook over medium heat until cheese melts and cream thickens, whisking occasionally, about 3 minutes.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. Drain well.

Add pasta to sauce in skillet; toss just until coated with sauce. Season generously with pepper. Divide pasta among plates. Sprinkle with Parmesan. Combine nuts in small bowl. Sprinkle over each dish of pasta and serve.
