Step 1: You will need

  • 500 g fusilli pasta
  • 200 g walnuts
  • 300 g blue cheese
  • 500 ml double cream
  • 1 handful of chopped parsley
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • salt
  • pepper
  • 1 large pot with lid
  • 1 slotted spoon
  • 1 colander
  • 1 small pan
  • 1 large bowl

Step 2: Combine the cheese and cream

Crumble 200g of the blue cheese into a small saucepan, (reserve 100g for garnishing later on) and add all of the cream.

Step 3: Make the cheese sauce

Place the pan over a high heat and when the cream begins to boil, turn down and allow to simmer. Season with salt and pepper, stir well and allow to reduce.

Step 4: Boil the pasta

While you allow the cheese sauce to reduce, half fill a large pot with water and place on a high heat. Add a sprinkle of salt and some olive oil and cover with the lid. Once the water has boiled remove the lid, add the pasta and cook for 11 minutes.

Step 5: Drain the pasta

Using a colander, drain the pasta.

Step 6: Combine the ingredients

Transfer the pasta into a bowl and add the walnuts and parsley (save some of both for garnishing with later on). Finally, pour over the cheese sauce and mix well.

Step 7: Garnish and serve

Heap a generous portion of pasta onto a serving plate and use the remaining walnuts and parsley to garnish. Perfect with a green salad as a quick and filling meal.
