I made this dish with a side of sauteed shrimp for Valentine’s Day. I use a 5 0z wedge of a soft creamy blue cheese that really did not give it the blue cheese flavor I was looking forward to. I’ll try it again using crumbles and see if that helps. Great dish though.

I made this earlier. Its super quick and easy to put together. I added chicken breast to mine. We’ve never tried Arugala before and while it didn’t pass the kid test, I enjoyed it so I ended up with all of the Arugala.

This looked so good, but I didn’t have the ingredients on hand so I subbed Gorgonzola for the Blue, and spinach for the arugula and voila! It was fantastic! (I also added 2 cloves of garlic that I sauteed at the beginning and a spoonful of prepared pesto into the sauce) Thanks for the inspiration!

instead of adding cornstarch, you could add a bit of the pasta water then simmer back down to however thick of runny you like it, I find it’s usually enough to bring the sauce together.

You want to be careful which blue cheese you pick when you’re melting it into a cream sauce. I’ve had the moldier varieties the sauce turn blue, which is unappetizing to say the least.

This looks fantastic! I love the inclusion of arugula.. I am sure the peppery flavor pairs well with a creamy pasta. Can’t wait to try!
