🍽 Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 ripe Pears
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• to taste Salt
• to taste Freshly ground black pepper

📖 Instructions

1. First things first, let's prep those zoodles! Grab your spiralizer (or that trusty vegetable peeler if you're feeling old-school) and transform your zucchini into beautiful, curly noodles. Don't worry about getting them perfectly uniform—rustic charm is always in!
2. Next, dice your pears into small, bite-sized pieces. I like to use a mix of sweet and slightly tart pears for that amazing flavor contrast. Remember when I said rustic charm? It applies to the pear dicing too, don't sweat the small stuff
3. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Once it shimmers, toss in your pear pieces. Gently sauté them for about 3-5 minutes, just until they start to soften and caramelize slightly. Watch them carefully—you don't want them to turn mushy!
4. Now for the star of the show: the Gorgonzola! Crumble it into the skillet with the pears and stir to combine, allowing it to melt slightly and coat the pears. This is where the magic happens—the sweet pears and tangy blue cheese create a dreamy combination.
5. Add your zoodles to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the pear and gorgonzola mixture. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, or just until the zoodles are heated through and slightly tender-crisp. Don't overcook them, otherwise you'll have sad, soggy noodles.
6. Finally, it's time to plate this masterpiece. Arrange the zoodles and pear-gorgonzola mixture on a serving plate. I like to add some extra crumbled Gorgonzola on top and a sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper for extra kick. Some chopped walnuts would look super fancy too.
7. Serve immediately and prepare for compliments! It's a surprisingly elegant dish that's easy to make and tastes absolutely divine. Seriously, make this recipe, and then make it again the very next day. You won't regret it!

📝 Notes

• For extra flair, consider adding a sprinkle of chopped walnuts or pecans just before serving.
• If your pears aren't very ripe, you can add a pinch of sugar to help them caramelize better during sautéing.
• Feel free to experiment with different types of nuts or herbs to complement the flavors. Thyme, rosemary, or sage would all pair nicely!
