Yum! This was really simple and very good. I used a multi-shaped pasta that was really fun. Based on other reviews, I added a little more Danish blue cheese and glad that I did. Thanks Parsley for a nice meal. Made by an Unruly Under the Influence for ZWT6.

Really good! I was worried that the blue cheese flavor might be too strong, but it was really nice (if you really love blue cheese, you may even want to add more). I added some fresh, chopped spinach leaves for color, and I didn't use the full amount of pasta (I like a lot of sauce). As noted by other reviewers, the sauce will seem too thin at first, but it thickens considerably if you let it sit for a few minutes after adding the pasta. Thanks for sharing!
