This is decadently good. I add crushed red pepper to the oil while sauteing and substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream and olive oil for the butter.

I came on here to post this EXACT recipe and I'm estatic to see it is already on here. This recipe is TO DIE FOR. I have served this to my dad (who swears he hates blue veined cheeses) and got rave reviews. Do give this a try! It's also fabulous served with gnocchi instead of fettucini. Keep up the great work KC

YUM! I made this with mini gnocchi but was other wise pretty true to the recipe. It was awesome. Thanks JC!
