DELICIOUS! I must confess, I altered a bit to use what I had on hand, but kept the sauce and integrety I think as you had planned. This one WON over my DH who usually doesn't like blue cheese cream sauces. (YEA!!) I ended up using Conchiglie Rigate (I was out of bow tie, which NEVER happens!). I also decided to use asparagus instead of peas only because I was also making your tarragon pea recipe as a side tonight and wanted a variety. I used gorgonzola cheese and toasted pecans to round it out. Delicious - next time I think I may add some cranberries!! YUMMY! ZWT3. This one goes in my KEEPER recipe book!!
