Ingredients

• 250 grams dry pasta (e.g., fettuccine, linguine, or spaghetti)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 200 milliliters heavy cream
• 100 grams crumbled blue cheese
• 2 cloves garlic (minced)
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper (freshly ground)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set the pasta aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant but not browned.

Step 3

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to warm gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 4

Add the crumbled blue cheese to the skillet and stir until the cheese is fully melted and incorporated into the sauce, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.

Step 6

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, stir in a small amount of the reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 7

Remove the skillet from heat and divide the blue cheese noodles between two serving plates.

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your creamy and tangy Blue Cheese Noodles!
