Being a cheese addict, cheesy pastas are one of my favorite dishes to make. It's easy, yummy and unhealthy T-T I've made this dish before for people who don't like blue cheese and they still liked it! :D
Must try at home!
Ingredients (for 4 nomsters)
- Pasta (any kind, in the photos I used 500g of fresh tagliatelle)
- 1 onion
- 1 courgette
- 1 pack of mushrooms (the quantity is really up to you, I just love mushrooms so used a lot :P)
- 3 cups of milk
- 3 teaspoons of flour
- Around 1 teaspoon of mashed garlic
- Saint-Agur (or any other type of blue cheese)
- Cherry tomatoes
- Wild Rocket
Preparation
- Boil water for the pasta
- Cut the onion into thin stripes and the courgette into cubes. Cut the mushrooms into stripes
- With a little bit of oil in a pan, add the onions. When they start to become transparent, add the courgette. Once the courgettes start to soften, add the mushrooms and the minced garlic.
- Add the flour (to thicken the sauce), mix well so it covers the ingredients equally. Add the milk.
- When the milk starts to warm up add blue cheese little by little (I diced mine) and mix so it slowly melts :3 The quantity is really up to you. I love blue cheese so I like to put a lot of it in the sauce but some people don't like it when the taste is too strong. Best is to try the sauce as you go until you find the perfect taste! Little advice: the more cheese you add the less salt is needed as blue cheese already contains natural salt! :) It's also best to not let the milk boil as it gives a strange appearance (it becomes kind of grainy) and it's just better to let the cheese melt really slowly hehe
- Cook the pasta, drain it well!
- On a plate, place some rucola or rocket on a plate. It will be like a little bed for your pasta :3 Place the pasta in the center and add a generous amount of sauce and some pepper to taste. Place the cherry tomatoes on the side (I cut them in half) and it's ready! :D
I think blue cheese and rocket goes together really well! I am not a fan to rocket usually as it's so bitter but I think it counters the strong taste of blue cheese really well! For this recipe I used french blue cheese called Saint Agur but of course gorgonzola is also great with it! You can also add more cherry tomatoes on the side (but can also just be little decorations) as it brings some freshness to this cheessy dish!
Enjoy!
