Total Time 30 minutes
Servings 1

Ingredients

  • 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

Instructions

  • 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!
