Super yummy! Like alot of others, I doubled up on the gorgonzola because I like it a little richer, and will definately add some crumbled bacon next time as it seemed to be missing something.

One of the best meals I've ever eaten in my life was a gnocchi with a gorgonzola cream sauce when I was visiting Milan. While this doesn't quite hit that bar, it is a very good approximation. I did add in an extra Tbsp of both cheeses and thought that intensified the gorgonzola flavor a little more adequately, though next time I'll double the gorgonzola. The toasted walnut and pear provide an excellent counterpoint to the cheese flavor. It might be a little too heavy for a main dish for some, but it would certainly be a perfect side. If you like the gorgonzola flavor, this is definitely a keeper.

The idea of this is delicious but it just didn't turn out like I had expected. I used wheat pasta because my boyfriend is obsessed with wheat, so maybe that was why I wasn't fond of this. Either way, it could have been better somehow.

Literally the BEST dish I've ever made, to date. EVER. I used Gnocchis for the pasta. Also used only 1 tbsp butter and half & half instead of cream, but didn't miss the extra fat. Otherwise don't change a thing; its PERFECT. Husband was so wary of eating it ..."pears and cheese-that's weird!" but then just about licked his bowl clean. Thanks for sharing this easy, tasty, quick recipe!

Very good! Loved the interesting flavors. Pear was a bit too crispy in the mix--will try again with the pears sauteed. Needed a lot more gorgonzola and parmesan for my taste.

Made this for my husband for dinner and it was delicious. I added chicken to make it a more filling meal, and it worked well to add another texture. I used mizithra cheese instead of parm. because that's what I had on hand and it worked well. The only change I would make next time would be to add more gorgonzola cheese. I love gorgonzola cheese and the flavor wasn't as strong as I would have liked. Overall delicious dish that I will make again!

This is soooooo good! And super easy. I made this as a side dish for a Pampered Chef party I was hosting at my house and this got more compliments than the dish the PC consultant made.
