Method

Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and keep warm. Drop beans into boiling unsalted water, and cook al dente, about 7 minutes. Drain cooked beans, reserving 1/2 cup cooking broth. While pasta and beans are cooking, saute walnuts and garlic in olive oil with salt and black pepper. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Combine pasta, beans, saute, and gorgonzola. Toss gently adding a little reserved cooking broth, as needed. Taste to adjust seasoning.

 

Notes: This dish also makes a delicious vegetarian main dish.
