A Simple Pasta
A day removed from our daughter's stomach flu, we opt for simple. If she
ate soup, we'd probably get take-out chinese, but, alas, she's never
been one for soup. We prepare some pasta as it's easy on the stomach
when served plain and easy to dress up when served for the healthy
among us.

- Pasta with Blue Cheese Sauce [View Recipe]
Quick View
Ingredients
- 3 cups pasta
- .5 tablespoon butter
- .5 cup milk (divided)
- .25 cup cheese (crumbled)
- 2 ounces cream cheese (cut into small pieces)
- salt & pepper
- 1 medium tomato
- 3 slices bacon (cooked in microwave)
- cheese
Instructions
We start by melting the butter over medium-low heat in a pan large enough to mix the sauce with the cooked pasta. We add ΒΌ cup of milk and heat until just hot - we do not want to boil it. Then we add the blue cheese and cream cheese and a little salt and pepper. We stir well, incorporating the cheeses into the warm milk mixture. It is a little thick, so we add the rest of the milk and heat. When the sauce is creamy and hot, we add the pasta and stir well to combine.
We quickly rinse and chop our tomato and serve the pasta topped with the tomato, crumbled bacon, and freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
