Seafood Pasta With Blue Cheese Alfredo Sauce

Submitted by veggienic

"Made this up last night and it was DELICIOUS. Feel free to add any sort of seafood you would like, or make it purely vegetarian. I tend to not be a precise cook so my measurements are estimates. I throw it all in, especially with pasta dishes, and it all works out. Enjoy!"
