Categories     Side Dishes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

¼ cup coarsely chopped walnuts
4 ounces blue cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ pound uncooked spaghetti
1 clove garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until al dente.

  • Drain pasta, and divide into 2 plates. Top with saute and blue cheese.

Nutrition Facts : Calories 419.2 calories, Carbohydrate 44.3 g, Cholesterol 21.3 mg, Fat 20.5 g, Fiber 2.3 g, Protein 14.6 g, SaturatedFat 6.8 g, Sodium 399.3 mg, Sugar 1.9 g

Tips:

  • Use high-quality blue cheese. Crumbled blue cheese, such as Gorgonzola or Roquefort, is the key to this dish's rich and creamy flavor. Look for a cheese that is creamy and not too crumbly.
  • Toast the walnuts before using them. Toasting the walnuts brings out their nutty flavor and adds a nice crispy texture to the pasta dish. Simply spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
  • Cook the pasta al dente. Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian and refers to a pasta that is cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Don't overcook the sauce. The blue cheese sauce should be creamy and slightly thickened, but not too thick or heavy. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little bit of milk or cream.
  • Serve the pasta immediately. Pasta is best served hot and fresh from the pan. If you need to make the pasta ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it in a saucepan over low heat just before serving.

Conclusion:

Pasta with blue cheese and walnuts is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to showcase the rich and creamy flavor of blue cheese, and the toasted walnuts add a nice crispy texture. This dish can be served as a main course or as a side dish. Try experimenting with different types of blue cheese and walnuts to find your favorite combination.
