Blue Cheese and Mushroom Pasta

Submitted by IngridNL

"Delicious and filling savory pasta. Excellent with toasted garlic bread and a nice mixed salad. First made this up when I had nothing in the fridge but a little block of cheese, some mushrooms, and a tiny tub of sour cream. The experiment paid off!"

It is my bed time so I have to type quick. Very nice and simple, but it would of helped a lot if the recipe had been a little more detailed. Thanks a lot for a great meal, I just hope others enjoy it as much as I do to! From Harry "I'm a kid, and I can do it!"

This was delicious. I used cremini mushrooms and all sour cream in lieu of yogurt and creme fraiche. My five year old even asked for seconds. This will definitely be in our recipe rotation from now on.

Tasty and flexible. Easy to make. There was no creme freshe in the house, so I added some half and half. My only parley was dry, so I added with the salt and pepper at the end. I scaled it to 40% as that is all the blue cheese I had in the fridge. Supposedly that would be 80% of 1 serving. It would have been enough for 2 people.

This is very good. We did find that this made enough sauce for four servings, but we don't eat large portions of pasta, so this probably wouldn't be the case with large portions of pasta.
