Categories     Dinner     Entree     Pasta

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 pound capellini (or spaghetti)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 pound blue cheese (crumbled)
1/4 cup fresh parsley (finely chopped)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add the butter to the pot.
  • When the butter has melted, add the noodles back to the pot and stir to coat.
  • Slowly add the blue cheese, stirring the noodles so the cheese melts.
  • As you add the cheese, also drizzle a little of the reserved pasta water over the noodles, using as much or as little as needed. The water will keep the noodles from clumping together and thin out the blue cheese as it melts so the sauce has a lighter, less-sticky texture.
  • Once the blue cheese has mostly melted, stir in the parsley. Add salt to taste.
  • Serve immediately and enjoy!

SIMPLE BASIC PASTA SAUCE



Simple Basic Pasta Sauce image

A simple, basic, yet very tasty pasta sauce. I like to cook My Turkey Italian Meatballs (from this site) or other meats in it to add another layer of flavor. Add any herbs you like, as well. You can add tomatoes whole if you like a real chunky sauce, or blend them in a blender first to make a smooth sauce.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of blue cheese: For a creamy and flavorful sauce, use a blue cheese that is ripe and has a strong flavor, such as Roquefort, Gorgonzola, or Stilton. Avoid using a blue cheese that is too crumbly or dry.
  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. Use fresh herbs, such as parsley, chives, or basil, and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Don't overcook the sauce: Blue cheese sauce is best when it is slightly warm and creamy. Overcooking the sauce will cause the cheese to become rubbery and the sauce will lose its flavor.
  • Serve immediately: Blue cheese sauce is best when served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat until it is warm and creamy again.

Conclusion:

Blue cheese pasta sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used on a variety of pasta dishes. It is easy to make and only requires a few simple ingredients. By following these tips, you can make a blue cheese pasta sauce that is creamy, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion.
