How to Make Blue Cheese Arugula Rocket Tagliatelle

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the tagliatelle and cook according to package directions until al dente.
  2. Reserve about 1/2 cup of pasta cooking water before draining the pasta. Set the cooked pasta aside, keeping it warm.
  3. While the pasta cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the chopped onion and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened.
  5. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes, until fragrant.
  6. Stir in the marscapone cheese and bring to a gentle simmer, stirring constantly until smooth and creamy.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Add the crumbled blue cheese and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until melted and incorporated into the sauce.
  8. Remove the sauce from the heat and gently stir in the chopped arugula. The residual heat will wilt the arugula slightly.
  9. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add a little of the reserved pasta water if needed to create a creamier sauce.
  10. Serve immediately, sprinkled generously with freshly ground black pepper.
