For the grapes
2 cups red seedless grapes, halved
1 small shallot, minced
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons olive oil
For the pasta
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 pound Gorgonzola
2/3 cup Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons Calvados
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2/3 cup toasted pignoli, or chopped pistachios
1 pound gemelli pasta
snipped fresh chives, to garnish

1
Preheat the oven to 425 for the grapes and start the water on to boil for the pasta. Toss the grapes with the ingredients above, and spread on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast the grapes for about 15 - 20 minutes until soft and the juice is syrupy. The juice can burn quickly so it's good to keep an eye on it.
2
While the grapes roast, prepare the pasta.
3
Cook pasta in boiling water until just tender, but still with a firm bite.
4
While the pasta cooks, melt butter in a large skillet or saute pan over low heat. Add Gorgonzola, stirring until smooth. Add half-and-half, Calvados, tomato paste, and most of the chopped pistachios, reserving some for garnish.
5
As soon as the pasta is barely al dente, drain it and stir the drained pasta into the Gorgonzola sauce.
6
Serve garnished with the remaining chopped nuts, snipped chives, and the roasted grapes on the side.
