I loved this dish. Yes, the blue cheese is strong, but I love blue cheese! My sauce did not need the reserved pasta water, but I wouldn’t say it was thin at all. I loved everything about this recipe; it was so easy to make.

I’m a blue cheese lover so I reeeeeally liked this pasta! Super easy to prepare and since i’m the only blue cheese fan in my family I got all the leftovers! Thanks BEV!!

I’ve made this several times and really like it. I’m not a huge pasta fan so that’s saying something! It reheats as leftovers very well. The sauce is definitely thin. I’ve found adding 1t of cornstarch thickens it up nicely and still keeps the flavor. I add it a 1/2 t at a time. Overall really delicious!

This was very, very good! I love sauce so I will probably double the sauce recipe next time, otherwise delicious.

If you like blue cheese (a LOT) you might like this. This is NOT for the person who only likes a bit of blue cheese on their salad, ect.
I made this today with spinach instead of arugula and I added a bit of chicken. It was inedible to me. I hated the way it tasted.
Also, the sauce didnt thicken, it was very runny, it needs some cornstarch or something to make it thick.

I thought this was a terrific meatless-meal ~ however, my sauce was a little thinner than I prefer (didn’t need the reserved pasta water, for sure!). I’ll definitely make again ‘tho. It was very good.
