Pasta with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

Okay, so it has been a rather long time since my last post, but I see that I have had some readers in my absence, so that is great. I hope you are enjoying my recipes, if not the monologue on my personal life. Please share your thoughts when you get a chance (on either recipes or life)! I really started this blog so I could connect with other people, and even though I know people are reading, I still would like to have some feedback once in a while :0)

Anyway, so, back to my life. Things have been very busy lately, with a few major changes. Guy #2 has moved away, which makes me sad. He and I had gotten to be really good friends even though things never really worked out romantically. Now I miss him, but he still sends me funny messages and we talk on the phone sometimes. I have decided that Guy #3 is definitely gay, but we still talk and have fun together. So I'm back to being single with no major prospects, but I think I'm okay with that for now.

Me and my close friend of the past 4 years have also somewhat parted ways. We still see each other sometimes, but I think I've only called her twice since August. We were at a party and she got mad and said I was a big flirt and not a very good friend. We were both drunk. And yes, I can be a flirt, but not nearly like other single twenty-somethings. It's actually kind of a miracle that I've met 3 remotely interesting men in the past year. And I've been a really good friend. I don't think I should be punished for meeting a cute guy at a party, right? I know it's a stupid thing to fight about, but it made me realize what a wet blanket she's been lately and I just decided maybe she wasn't such a good friend for me anymore. I have been hanging out with a couple other lady friends lately and having fun with them.

I'm still at my lousy job, but looking for other options and am going on an informal interview this weekend. Should be interesting.

For dinner:

Pasta with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

1/2 lb. Spaghetti

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 onion, minced

1/4 c. chopped walnuts

1 c. chopped greens (I used kale, but spinach or arugula would be good too)

Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Fresh cracked pepper

5 basil leaves, shredded

Red pepper flakes (optional)

1-2 small green tomatoes, chopped (optional)

Olive oil

Boil pasta as directed on box. Meanwhile, saute green tomatoes and onions in olive oil until soft (not brown), then add pepper flakes and greens. Stir until greens are wilted, then add garlic and walnuts. When pasta is done, add noodles to the saute pan, stir in the basil and gorgonzola, then add a little pasta water to round out the sauce. Season to taste with pepper. Eat.
