with pear and Gorgonzola cream

First, dice the onion – as well as the pear (after peeling and coring). Now briefly sauté the onion in a pan and add a little water. Now add 2 teaspoons of stock, salt, curry, paprika and, if desired, a little pepper. When the water has evaporated, add the diced pear and sauté for 2-3 minutes. Next, add the minced meat and fry it until crispy, along with the onion and pear. Briefly heat the milk and cream in a separate saucepan. Add the Gorgonzola, jam, sugar and 2 teaspoons of stock. Then turn the heat down and slowly melt the cheese. At the same time, cook the pasta according to the package instructions – drain and spread half of it on the bottom of a baking dish. Now add the cheese and cream sauce to the minced meat and pour everything over the pasta. Sprinkle the remaining pasta on top, followed by the shaved Parmesan. Then spread the cream evenly over it and bake at 180 degrees on the middle rack for about 25 – 30 minutes.
