KTK Pasta with Gorgonzola, 

Onions & Green Beans

1 lb pasta, spagetti or linguini (enough for 2 people)
1/4 cup olive oil
2  vidalia onions or sweet onions; cut in thin rings
4 clove galic; minced
2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar; * see note
4 ounce Goronzola cheese, ripe; crumbled
2 cup green beans, fresh or frozen
1/4 cup pine nuts
  Parmesan cheese; grated
  ground pepper; white or black

Cook beans and reserve.

Heat oil and add thinly sliced onion rings.  Cook, stirring often, until they are a golden brown.  Add garlic and pine nuts and cook until pine nuts start to turn tan.  Remove from heat.  Stir in vinegar, beans and ground pepper.

Cook pasta and drain.  Toss with onions and crumbled Gorgonzola in large serving bowl.  Serve at once with grated parmesean.

* If you can find good sweet balsamic vinegar, that will work best.  But cheap balsamic, with a dash of sugar added, is a fine substitute.
