An easy and quick romantic lunch or dinner recipe that will surely impress! Replace the walnuts with pine nuts, if so moved. Ingredients:
1 (16 ounce) box tagliatelle pasta |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 cup heavy cream |
3 1/2 ounces crumbled blue cheese |
2/3 teaspoon garlic powder |
1 teaspoon lemon juice |
1 pinch salt |
1 pinch ground black pepper |
1 pinch ground white pepper (optional) |
1 pinch ground nutmeg |
1 pinch dried oregano |
1 pinch dried basil |
1 tablespoon toasted walnuts, chopped |
Directions:
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil the tagliatelle until cooked through yet slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
2. Drizzle olive oil over the cooked pasta and toss gently to coat.
3. Heat the cream in a saucepan over low heat until warm; stir in the blue cheese, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, oregano, and basil. Cook very gently until the blue cheese has melted and the sauce is hot, but don't let the sauce boil.
4. Place the tagliatelle in a serving dish and pour the sauce over the pasta. Top with walnuts to serve.
