Ingredients:

Serving

1 1/2 lb green beans, stems trimmed and cut into 1 1/2-in. lengths
16 oz whole-grain penne , rotini , rotelle , or fusilli pasta
1/2 cup mayonnaise
about 1/3 lb. roquefort cheese
2 tbsp red wine vinegar
3 tbsp each finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
5 crisply cooked thick slices bacon, crumbled
1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
salt

Directions:

Bring 2 large pots of salted water to a boil. Prepare a large bowl of ice and cold water. In one pot, boil green beans 3 minutes; drain and plunge in ice water to stop cooking. In the other, cook pasta until tender to the bite, 9 to 12 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse thoroughly under cold water until completely cool (see Notes).
In a food processor, pulse mayonnaise, Roquefort, and vinegar until well combined but still slightly chunky.
In a large bowl, toss together pasta, green beans, Roquefort dressing, parsley, chives, bacon, and pepper until pasta is well coated. Season with salt to taste.
