This was absolutely gorgeous and I have done it again since...plenty for 4 people.....and you could have a salad on the side if you wanted to stretch it further.

Yum yum.

I'm not sure about the blue cheese... but otherwise it sounds nice!

I'm not a lover of blue cheese, and the 2nd one I made I used Roquefort (?) and I'm not sure it agreed with me (nuff said).

You could easily change the cheese for feta, or something that white and soft that crumbles...and the meal will be just as good.

Voila! and Marc likes brocolli so you can't go wrong. It's really quick and easy to make too.

Our friends, who are moving away, gave us a big, heavy, pottery bowl (for serving shell fish in I think). It has a lovely navy coloured border around the edge. There was only us two, and I tipped the pasta dish into the bowl, it looked really lovely and I wished we had guests to serve it too.

For a quick meal, it's impressive to look at and eat.

Even if you're not keen on blue cheese, try Yorkshire Blue, if you get a chance. It really is gorgeous-much milder and creamier than the usual blue cheese. I'm also really keen on Shropshire Blue (and I don't mean Glynis-although she's lovely too!)
