Drain the pasta when done, return it to its pot, and add the cheese sauce. Stir over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2 min. Add pepper to taste. Pour the mixture into a shallow baking dish. Combine the bread crumbs and nuts and sprinkle the topping over the pasta. Dot iwth the remaining 1 oz gorgonzola.
