Recipe: Gorgonzola and walnuts pasta with marjoram

Pasta with aromatic herbs
February 26, 2011


MarjoramI love to use fresh aromatic herbs but let's admit it: it's winter, and it's time to use all those herbs harvested and stored during summer.
I have a lot of dried marjoram, and I can't think of another aromatic herb for walnuts recipes, as I told you in the post Walnuts Pasta with Marjoram.
This one adds the tasty gorgonzola: if you can't find it, use some blue cheese instead.

This looks great, what an interesting idea to put nuts in your pasta! It s a great tip for a vegetarian like me always looking for protein.

Walnuts and the various blue cheeses were made for each other, creamy and delicious. I have some Stilton Blue, so what am I waiting for?

My mother in law gives me tons of walnuts from her tree every year, and I love them in pies and pasta recipes. Claudia, let me know about your Stilton Blue and walnuts pasta!

Maybe pistachio is too delicate for blue cheeses, but I have to try it...
