RECIPE: Spinach and Blue Cheese Pasta

Happy Friday! If you're looking for something super quick and tasty for dinner this weekend then look no further, this recipe is for you! Who doesn't love pasta? Who doesn't love cheese? It's a great combo.

This recipe is taken from this book and we tried it out last night. I've made a very similar meal before and instead of using cream, I used Philadelphia Cheese and a little milk. Let's get started!




For two people - 

275g pasta, any curled or ribbon shape.
2 double handfuls of spinach leaves, washed and torn up
300ml single cream
175g soft blue cheese, cut into cubes
Salt and pepper to season.


1. Cook the pasta until al dente.

2. Put the spinach, still wet from washing in a pan over a medium heat. Cover and cook until it starts to wilt. (We actually steamed it in a basket over the pasta pan. Do whatever is easiest for you!)

3. Gently stir the blue cheese and cream together over a low heat. Season accordingly.

4. Mix the spinach into the sauce, drain pasta and fold it into the sauce. EAT.


This meal is for blue cheese lovers, if you're not super keen then it might be a bit much for you. Also it's not the healthiest of meals but hey, treat yourself, it's the weekend!





P.S. I'm not the greatest food photographer. I promise I will improve!
