Suggested Recipes

1/2 cup (125 mL) milk
1/2 cup (125 mL) blue cheese (about 4 oz/125 g)
1/3 cup (75 mL) grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (50 mL) whipping cream
1 tbsp (15 mL) butter
Pinch salt
1/3 cup (75 mL) chopped fresh parsley
12 oz (375 g) whole wheat linguine
3 tbsp (50 mL) chopped toasted walnuts

Serve with: Romaine and Radicchio Salad with Cucumber
In saucepan, combine milk, blue cheese, Parmesan cheese, cream, butter and salt ; cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in parsley; keep warm.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until tender but firm, about 8 minutes. Drain and return to pot, reserving 1/4 cup (50 mL) of the pasta water. Add sauce; toss to coat. Stir in enough of the reserved pasta water to keep sauce loose and creamy. Serve sprinkled with walnuts.
