First, cook the pasta according to the instructions, drain, and reserve a cup of the cooking water. Pour the Gorgonzola over the hot pasta and stir. Then cut the chicory into 1 cm thick strips, the peeled pears into thin wedges, and chop the tomatoes. Brown the chicory without fat over high heat for five minutes. Now add the pears and tomatoes. Add a little more pasta water, if necessary. Cover and let caramelize over medium heat. Finally, add the pasta and Gorgonzola to the pan and mix everything together. Season with salt and pepper, add the sunflower seeds and lemon juice, if desired, and drizzle with a dash of olive oil. Tip: If you like, you can use a different cheese, such as Parmesan. Garlic and onions then go well with it.
