Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the pears and the thyme; cook, stirring frequently, until the pears soften, about 10 minutes. Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese over the pears; cook and stir until it melts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool completely.

Cut the pasta dough into 3 equal portions. Flatten the first piece on a floured work surface; roll it with a rolling pin 5 or 6 times. Turn the dough 45 degrees and roll again, 5 to 6 times. Continue rolling and turning in the same direction until the dough is evenly about 1/16 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining 2 pieces of pasta dough.

Carefully move 1 pasta sheet to a floured surface and cut it in half to make 2 equal rectangles. Place about 1 teaspoon of filling onto 1 rectangle, spacing the mounds about 1 inch apart. Brush the spaces between the filling with water.

Place the second rectangle over the first. Gently press out any air around the filling and press firmly with your hands to seal the edges and all the dough around the filling.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
