How to Make Basic Blue Cheese Pasta Sauce
- In a medium saucepan, combine 1/2 cup heavy cream, 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese (or more, to taste!), and 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the butter is melted and the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 5-7 minutes. Make sure the blue cheese is fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in 1 tablespoon of fresh, minced herbs (such as chives, thyme, or parsley) if desired. Adjust the amount to your liking.
- Taste and season cautiously with salt (depending on the saltiness of your cheese and cream) and freshly ground white pepper (if available, otherwise use black pepper).
- Serve immediately over your favorite pasta or gnocchi. Garnish with extra herbs or a sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if you like.
