Little tip
Toast the walnuts for 30 seconds in a pan before using them: they become much more aromatic.
Useful tips
For an even silkier cream, melt the gorgonzola with a tablespoon of the pasta cooking water.
If you prefer a milder flavor you can use mild gorgonzola instead of the spicy one.
Walnuts add crunch and pair wonderfully with radicchio and cheese.
You can also use fresh tagliatelle for an even creamier result.
