Ingredients
- 400 grams Spaghetti
- 150 grams Blue cheese
- 200 ml Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining the spaghetti.
Step 2
While the spaghetti cooks, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the unsalted butter.
Step 3
Once the butter melts, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Lower the heat to medium-low and stir in the heavy cream. Heat the cream gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Crumble the blue cheese into the skillet and stir until it melts completely into the cream, forming a smooth sauce. If the sauce seems too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thin it out to your desired consistency.
Step 6
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Add the cooked and drained spaghetti to the skillet, tossing well to coat the noodles evenly in the sauce. If necessary, add more pasta water to help the sauce coat the spaghetti more smoothly.
Step 8
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Enjoy your creamy and tangy Blue Cheese Spaghetti!
