  • Cuisine: Italian

Ingredients

  • half penne rigate
  • blue cheese
  • walnuts
  • milk
  • Parmigiano Reggiano DOP

Preparation

  • The process is very simple.

    Cook the pasta in plenty of hot water for the time indicated on the package.

    Today I chose to prepare half penne. A short pasta that goes well with many dishes. According to the Mediterranean diet, 80-85 grams (2.8-3 oz) of pasta per person is recommended.

  • This sauce goes perfectly with fresh pasta: trofie, cavatelli, orecchiette..

  • In a non-stick pan melt the mild blue cheese. Coarsely chop the walnuts and add them to the blue cheese along with a couple of tablespoons of milk. Stir until the cream thickens and set aside.

    Drain the pasta al dente and toss with the prepared cream.

    Finally, sprinkle the surface with Parmigiano.
