Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams fettuccine pasta
- 150 grams Roquefort cheese
- 200 ml heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 30 grams freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook until al dente according to the package instructions. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water, then drain the pasta and set aside.
While the pasta cooks, finely mince the garlic and chop the fresh parsley.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and golden but not browned.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Allow it to warm gently for 1-2 minutes, then crumble the Roquefort cheese into the skillet. Stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste. If the sauce is too thick, thin it with a few tablespoons of the reserved pasta cooking water.
Add the drained fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly in the Roquefort sauce. Allow the pasta to heat through for 1-2 minutes.
Transfer the fettuccine to serving plates and sprinkle with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy, tangy flavors of this decadent dish.
