Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook as the label directs for al dente. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain.
- Meanwhile, toast the walnuts in a large skillet over medium heat, shaking the pan occasionally, until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove the walnuts to a cutting board (reserve the skillet) and let cool slightly, then very finely chop.
- In the last 2 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the butter to the skillet and melt over medium heat. Add the spinach, cover and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cooked pasta, gorgonzola, Parmesan, 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water to the skillet. Toss until the cheese is melted and the pasta is evenly coated in the sauce. Add more pasta water as needed; season with salt.
- Divide the pasta among shallow bowls and top with the walnuts. Drizzle any remaining sauce in the skillet on top.

FETTUCCINE WITH GORGONZOLA, SPINACH AND PINE NUTS
This recipe comes from an award winning Australian chef. It's quick and easy to make, and tastes absolutely delicious. The sauce also goes well with gnocchi and buccatini. Said to serve 6, but I generally use around 250 g of pasta and half the listed amount of the other ingredients to serve two as a main. For a vegetarian version use non-animal rennet cheeses.

FASTA PASTA GORGONZOLA WITH SPINACH, RED PEPPERS AND PINE NUTS
Chances are you have all of the ingredients for this pasta dish on hand, in your refrigerator and cupboard. That's how it came together in my kitchen, and what a felicitous combination of flavors it turned out to be. Plus it goes together in a half hour or less. Be sure to use a milder blue cheese so it doesn't end up overwhelming the other flavors. You could substitute broccoli for the spinach, and you could leave out the chicken for a vegetarian dish (use vegetable broth instead of chicken). This goes well with a dry white or medium-bodied red wine.
