Equipment

  • Spiralizer
  • Skillet
  • Cutting board
  • Chef’s knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic press

Ingredients

Zucchini

  • 4 medium Zucchini, spiralized about 1.5 lbs or 680g

Pear

  • 1 medium Ripe pear, cored and sliced about 7 oz or 200g

Gorgonzola cheese

  • ½ cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled about 4 oz or 113g

Heavy cream

  • 1 cup Heavy cream about 8 oz or 240ml

Olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil 30ml

Garlic

  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced about 1 teaspoon or 5g

Seasonings

  • ½ teaspoon Salt 2g
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper 1g
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh thyme leaves about 1g

Walnuts

  • ¼ cup Walnuts, chopped optional, for garnish, 30g

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing your zucchini noodles, or 'zoodles', using a spiralizer. Set them aside on paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the sliced pear to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until slightly softened.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese until it's melted and the sauce is creamy.
  • Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme leaves. Stir well.
  • Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing them with the sauce for 2-3 minutes, until they are well-coated and heated through. Be careful not to overcook the zoodles to prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with chopped walnuts if desired.

Notes

For a nut-free version, omit the walnuts or replace them with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower.
Adjust the consistency of the sauce with additional heavy cream if it's too thick, or simmer for longer if too thin.
The ripeness of the pear can affect the sweetness of the dish; choose a pear to your taste preference.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently to avoid overcooking the zoodles.
