Season (salt and pepper, maybe some thyme) everything. If you have some, throw in some bacon or pancetta cut in little cubes. When the apples are starting to brown a little bit, throw in a bunch of chopped garlic. If you have some, throw in a mess of diced celery.

Just before the pasta is al dente (it should still be firm at this stage), drain it and dump it into the skillet with the stuff, along with some of the pasta water. Toss to mix and continue cooking until the pasta is nicely al dente. Just before service, crumble a bunch of gorgonzola into the skillet and toss until it is somewhat melted and coats the pasta a little bit.

Serve with fresh herbs chopped fine as a topside garnish. I like mint and parsley together.

Thank you sir. You have made a girl very happy today.

As for the onglet, I like to eat them simple-style. Red wine reduction, some mashed potatoes, doesn't cover up the flavour.

Do you suggest searing it in a cast iron skillet, then finishing it in the broiler and making a reduction with the fond?

I would just sear it in a Caphalon pan
