Recipe Penne Pasta in Blue Cheese Sauce

[SuzyB103]

Penne Pasta in Blue Cheese Sauce​

Serves 2

200ml double cream
15g butter
25g freshly grated Parmesan
50g crumbled Cornish Blue Cheese (or Gorgonzola, Cambozola, Stilton, etc)
salt and pepper to taste – I myself, personally, would be heavy on freshly ground black pepper
225g (raw weight) penne (or other) pasta – cooked

~ Gently heat the butter and the cream together, stirring, till the butter has melted into the cream.
~ Add the 50g of shredded Parmesan and the blue cheese and stir till melted.
~ Slowly bring almost to a boil, then immediately turn down the heat and simmer gently, still stirring quite a lot but only for a minute or so, maybe less, till you have a smooth creamy sauce.
~ Toss together with the cooked pasta till all hot.

Maybe sprinkle with crunchy toasted walnuts or stir in a some butterscotch roasted pears.

I love funky blue cheese but never considered using it in a pasta dish. Thank you.

Great idea. You got me with the pears. Looks and sounds fantastic.

Yes. Such a nice rich sauce. I sell a version in my frozen meal section. I'll make it some times as a side with a small steak..
