Steps
Pour a drizzle of oil into a pan and lightly sauté the finely sliced shallot. Place the gorgonzola on the cutting board, remove the rind, cut it into pieces, and add it to the shallot. Stir with a wooden spoon until it melts, then add the cream, mixing it into the rest of the sauce. Do not add salt.
As soon as the water boils, salt it and add the pasta. Meanwhile, coarsely chop the walnuts, add them to the sauce, keeping a handful aside, and stir.
Drain the pasta al dente and add it to the pan. Mix, add the cheeses, keeping a few tablespoons aside, and pour everything into a baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining cheeses and walnuts and bake on grill mode until golden brown.
