Blue Cheese & Chilli Pasta

Recipe By Michael Weldon

Ingredients

  • 500 g Coles penne pasta

  • ¼ cup pine nuts

  • 2 garlic cloves, sliced thinly

  • 2 dried chillies, torn chopped

  • ½ bunch parsley, chipped

  • 125 g Coles blue cheese, crumbled

  • ¼ cup toasted breadcrumbs

Method

  • Cook the pasta following the instructions on the packet.

  • In a dry frypan, toast off the pine nuts until golden brown then set aside.

  • Five minutes before the pasta is ready, in a frypan, heat ½ cup of olive oil. Add the garlic and chilli and fry until lightly golden.

  • Add a couple of ladles of the pasta liquid into the frypan to stop the frying. Add the blue cheese into the frypan and mix to melt.

  • When the pasta is cooked, transfer it straight from the pot into a frypan and toss this together. Cook for a minute or so until the sauce thickens.

  • Serve straight away topped with a sprinkle of the toasted breadcrumbs and some more parsley.
