It's rainiiiiing again ...
I'm living in a very touristic place. As I say regularly, we're lucky because, there's a lot of sunshine and we're often having sun while the rest of France is under rain.
But this is not Acapulco !
Some days are cold. Yes, it happens ! I know it's crazy but it is !!
We're in a holidays period, in France (Vacances de la Toussaint).
Yesterday, while I was going to my youngest sister, it was rainy and windy.
But I saw an entire family in short and tee shirt !
... We're just in November !
And tonight, once more, we're in orange alert.
There are 3 alerts level :
- Yellow : Be careful.
- Orange : Be VERY VERY careful.
- Red : We warned you ...!!
So we're at home. And I cook. And we eat.
Yesterday evening, I wanted pasta ...
Nooooo ? Really ??
Yes. I assume.
But I wanted roquefort pasta.
In my family, I'm the only one who loves cheese. Ironical, for french people, don't you think ? ;)
My children love them, but not the smelling ones ...
They love "neutral" cheese.
And my husband can vomit just smelling them !
So when I say "I want to eat roquefort pasta", they begin to prepare me a place far FAR away from them, at the other side of the apartment.
And I eat, alone ... SUCH A QUIET AND PEACEFUL MOMENT !!! ... ;)
I need to make roquefort pasta more often !
Yesterday, my daughter wanted pasta, too. Basil and olive oil, but pasta.
So I cooked pasta for two.
I have to tell you, before giving you the recipe :
I love pasta.
I love roquefort.
That means this recipe needs A LOT of roquefort. A LOT.
... Red : We warned you !
Here what you'll need, for one very greedy person :
- Pasta ... how much you like !
- 100 grammes of roquefort, or what kind of blue cheese you've got.
- 20 cl of half and half cream.
Step 1 :
Pour cream and cheese in a pan, on a low fire and stir it until cheese is totally combined with cream.
When it's done, let it boil SLOWLY for 5 minutes, no more.
Step 2 :
Pour the mixture on your pasta and die of pleasure.
Here are our plates : My daughter's plate is on the right, on the picture.
Other view ...
WHAT ?? When I say "I love", now, you'll believe me ! ;)
Bon appétit, les amis !
Recapitulative, for one very greedy person :
- Pasta ... how much you like !

- 20 cl of half and half cream.
Pour cream and cheese in a pan, on a low fire and stir it until cheese is totally combined with cream.

It's raining here too, everyday! And not good for my plants!
ReplyDeleteYour pasta looks good, I have never tried blue cheese before! Would love to, someday!
Have a great week!
Thank you, Joyce, have a great week too ;)
DeleteIf you like blue cheese and pasta, no problem, you'll like this recipe !
WHAT? Your place is not Acapulco?? I'll never visit you, then ;)
ReplyDeleteI love pasta with cheese, and I love roquefort, too, but I could never make these pasta, unfortunately, because roquefort costs an arm and a leg, here. It's the kind of thing I would buy for myself as a gift for my birthday or something special like this, and I would eat every little piece of it with nothing else, to enjoy the flavor as long as possible...
You wrote "I assume" and now I am going to have to research this because I am very curious. In English, it often means "I take something for granted," for example I would say "I assumed that you were going to do this..." but I don't think it's used the way we use it in French. You can also "assume responsibility" in English, which is closer to what you want to say I think. It's a weird word, and it has other meanings, too, like I can assume the role of director, which means I undertake the duties of some kind of office... Mmmm... Now I'm confused :)
If you come in August, maybe, you'll have the felling to really be in Acapulco ;)
DeleteYes, for the roquefort's price, I thought about it. It's true, for us, we don't have this problem.
And most of all, there are a lot of choice and of prices : if you don't want to use a great roquefort for pasta, you can use a cheaper one.
For "I assume", whao ! What a big lesson :D
But you know, I always had a way of thinking : when foreign people speak my language, I'm thankful for their effort and their mistakes make me smile. I use to think it's cute.
I think this way for my english : I hope my mistakes are funny for my readers ;)
