Pasta With Blue Cheese Spinach Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Set large pot of water to boil, and add salt. Remove largest, thickest stems from spinach; roughly chop leaves and remaining stems. Wash thoroughly.
• When water comes to boil, add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until nearly tender. When just about done, add spinach. Stir. As soon as spinach wilts completely -- less than 30 seconds -- drain quickly.
• Immediately return pasta and spinach to pot, with butter and cheese, over low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until cheese and butter melt, all water is absorbed, and pasta is tender. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Prepare the pasta, according to package directions, while you make the rest of the meal.
• Put half the olive oil in a large pan, add the diced chicken and brown- set aside.
• Put the rest of the olive oil in the pan and add the onions and mushrooms.
• Cook until the juices from the mushrooms disappear (about 5- 7 mins) Add the chicken and spinach and mix thoroughly.
• Add the sour cream and blue cheese and stir over a low heat until the blue cheese is melted.
• Add the cooked pasta and stir to mix.
• Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

Steps:

• - In large skillet, saute onion, garlic, spinach and parsley in oil - Add rosemary, oregano, salt, pepper and white wine, simmer 2-3 minutes - Cook pasta, drain and return to pot - Stir blue cheese into the sauce and gently heat through - Toss the pasta with sauce and serve immediately

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Meanwhile, mince the garlic as finely as possible and combine it in the bottom of a warm bowl with the red pepper flakes, olives and olive oil.
• Place the pasta in the pot, and cook until it is nearly done (test it for doneness by tasting). Plunge the spinach into the water, and cook until it wilts, less than a minute. Drain quickly, allowing some water to cling to the pasta, and toss pasta and spinach in the bowl with the garlic and olive mixture. Season with salt and pepper, and serve.

Steps:

• Melt the butter with the oil in a large pan, tip in the leeks and splash in a little hot water. Cover and cook over a low heat, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes until no longer squeaky.
• While the leeks are cooking, boil the penne in salted water according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, tip the crème fraîche, sundried tomatoes and mustard into the leeks, add three-quarters of the cheese and season well. Stir until the cheese melts. Take off the heat.
• Drain the pasta, reserving the cooking water. Tip the pasta into the sauce and stir, adding enough cooking water to make the sauce coat the pasta. Stir in the spinach, a big handful at a time, until it wilts, splashing in a little more water if needed. Toss in the remaining cheese and serve.

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and heat on medium.
• Let thicken slightly and make sure cheeses are melted.
• Add fresh herbs, minced, of your choice-- in any amount you wish-- if desired.
• You may not want to add salt depending on the saltiness of your stock, but freshly ground pepper is nice.
• Use white pepper if you can find it.
• Serve over pasta or gnocchi.

Steps:

• Boil the pasta according to pack instructions. In a saucepan, melt the butter, then gently fry the onion until golden. Add the garlic and sage, fry for a further 2 mins, then remove the pan from the heat. Drain the pasta and reserve some cooking water. Stir through the buttery onions, stilton and 2 tbsp cooking water, then sprinkle with the toasted walnuts to serve.
