Fromage :

Peal the pears, halve them lengthwise and remove their cores. Cut each half into 5 pieces.

Melt the butter in a pan on low heat. Once melted, place the pears in the pan and cover with sugar. Cook until the pears soften and become golden. Once one side is caramelized, turn the slices over and repeat. Remove from heat and let cool.

Dressing preparation
In a small bowl, mix the oil, white balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper (to taste) with a whisk.

Salad preparation
Combine the arugula and cheese in a large salad bowl. Pour on the dressing and toss lightly. Divide into six bowls. Garnish each salad with chopped walnuts and caramelized pears. Serve immediately.

Variation
Replace the Parmiagianno Regianno Il Villagio with Gorgonzola Il Villagio. The pairing of caramelized pears and blue cheese is particularly tasty!
