monthly macaroni :: pear and gorgonzola

a few months ago, after i made the most delicious poached pears, i was on a pear kick. we were looking for a new macaroni to make and guess what we found?! a macaroni with pears! a pear, gorgonzola and rosemary macaroni. and so we made it. and it was delicious!


i am not one who usually goes for a gorgonzola cheese. it is very similar to blue cheese, which i am not a huge fan of eating. but this recipe sounded promising. gorgonzola can be very creamy and it also involved two of my favorite things: pears and rosemary!


the pears are sauteed with rosemary, butter and sugar and are then added to caramelized onions. It was the perfect mix of salty/sweet. handsome loved it and i sent him to rocky ford with lots of leftovers for lunch. he was kind enough to allow his coworkers to have a taste and they loved it too! this is definitely not your typical macaroni and cheese. in fact, i think it could possibly be classified as a different type of pasta, i just dont know what exactly.

love.
