This pear pasta dish is a delicious combination of the unique flavor of Gorgonzola cheese and the sweetness of fresh pears. Brush the pear cubes with lemon juice to keep them from browning.

- 3 tablespoons crumbled Gorgonzola cheese

Sarah's Italian Meringue Buttercream
This is sort of a finicky frosting, but so good. Once you master this type of buttercream, you will never go back to the overly sweet powdered sugar type icing. It's light and fluffy and just the right sweetness. It's the type of frosting found in most high-end gourmet pastry shops. You will need a candy thermometer for this recipe. Makes enough to generously frost a two-layer 9-inch round cake.
Keto Spaghetti Squash with Bacon and Blue Cheese
Turn plain old spaghetti squash into a keto meal with the addition of bacon, mushrooms, spinach, and blue cheese. I like to double the blue cheese, especially when using a milder variety. Carbs in spaghetti squash can add up quickly, so use a small squash that's approximately 2 pounds.
