Farfalle With Gorgonzola & Walnuts

A few years ago (pre-lockdown) I had dinner at an Italian restaurant and they served up this delicious pasta with a cream sauce containing Gorgonzola and walnuts. Sounds odd but it’s delicious!
Gorgonzola is a soft Italian cheese that’s belongs to the family of blue cheeses. If you cannot source it then ask the for a mild, creamy blue – you’ll be fine.
I am using farfalle (bow tie) pasta but a penne or rigatoni would work nicely as well. Where does one buy Gorgonzola? Most Italian grocers will carry it, here in Canada most supermarkets will carry it as well. Otherwise, ask for a mild creamy blue cheese if you can’t find Gorgonzola.
