Instructions:

Toast the Nuts: Be cautious while toasting the nuts; remove them from the heat before they turn brown, as they will continue cooking in the hot skillet for a minute or two.

Saute Nuts: Saute the nuts in the skillet until just a few of them turn brown. It’s important to keep an eye on them and remove them from the heat promptly.
-
Rest the Nuts: Once off the heat, remember that the nuts will continue to cook for a short while. Stir and shake them frequently to ensure even toasting.
-
Combine Ingredients: Dump the toasted nuts into the cooked pasta, add the gorgonzola cheese, and gently toss everything together until well coated.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Transfer the pasta to serving plates, garnish with additional cheese if desired, and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
