Ingredients

• 400 grams fettuccine pasta
• 150 grams Roquefort cheese
• 200 ml heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 30 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.

Step 3

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden but not browned.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to warm gently for 1-2 minutes, then crumble the Roquefort cheese into the skillet. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water.

Step 6

Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the Roquefort sauce. Allow the pasta to heat through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 7

Transfer the fettuccine to serving plates and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, tangy flavors of this decadent dish.
