Total Time 30 minutes mins
Servings 1
- 1 large zucchini Blade C
- 1/2 tbsp olive oil + more for drizzling
- 1/4 cup gorgonzola cheese + more for garnish
- salt and pepper
- 1 small garlic clove minced
- 1 anjou pear
- 1/4 cup walnuts
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
Prepare your pears by slicing them into eight pieces, making sure to remove all seeds. Lay the slices down on a baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake for 20-25 minutes, tossing the pears halfway through. Five minutes before the pears are done baking, throw the walnuts into the tray. When done, set aside.
Once you add the walnuts to the baking tray, place a large skillet over medium heat and add in the 1/2 tbsp of olive oil. Once the oil heats, add in the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add in the zucchini noodles, season with pepper and cook for about 1 minute or until they are heated through and start to soften.
Add in the gorgonzola cheese and cook for 1 minute, tossing to combine thoroughly. The cheese should fully melt into the noodles.
When the cheese is melted, place the noodles into a bowl. Top with pears, walnuts and extra gorgonzola. Enjoy!
