Spaghetti with blue cheese sauce | Easy pasta recipe
Saint agur cheese is a very mild, sweet and creamy cheese with a light blue cheese flavour, that works really well in sauces. This recipe is brilliant because most of the flavour comes from the cheese, so you don't have to spend ages making a flavourful sauce, because it's already in the cheese!
I first made my spaghetti with blue cheese sauce on the last live stream I did. I promised I would make an actual video for the recipe, so I'm doing it now before I forget! There are a couple of added extras to the recipe, the addition of parsley and a touch of lemon zest, helps cut through some of that richness. I mean it's not exactly a slimming dish folks, but it does taste good. You can use different blue cheeses if you can't get hold of saint agur. Roquefort would be good, or maybe a mild stilton. Just be aware that different cheeses, will alter the flavour considerably, so tastes as you go.
