Ingredients
- 80 grams Vermicelli pasta
- 50 grams Blue cheese
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 10 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic clove
- 5 grams Fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 1 pinch Black pepper
- 30 milliliters Pasta water
Directions
Step 1
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the vermicelli pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, about 3-4 minutes. Reserve 30 milliliters of pasta water before draining.
Step 2
While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic and chop the parsley.
Step 3
In a skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
Step 4
Stir in the heavy cream and crumble the blue cheese into the skillet. Cook gently, stirring constantly, until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 5
Add the reserved pasta water to the skillet and stir to loosen the sauce if it feels too thick.
Step 6
Drain the cooked vermicelli and toss it directly into the skillet with the sauce. Mix well to coat the pasta evenly.
Step 7
Season with salt and a pinch of black pepper to taste.
Step 8
Transfer the pasta to a serving bowl, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
