  Very quick to make for a midweek meal. The sauce is very rich though and after Beth's idea above, I scattered halved cherry tomatoes over the finished dish to cut through the richness of the sauce and add some colour.

  I made this for my parents as a midweek meal and my Dad enjoyed it so much that he's asked for it for Father's Day. Really quick and simple yet very delicious!

  Made this for a quick supper. Used fresh asparagas, and broad beans from the garden, instead of frozen peas, and steamed these for a couple of mins above the pasta as it was cooking. Didnt have gorgonzola, so use dolcelatte. Used some of the pasta cooking liquid to make the stock. I made enough for two people so that i could have it for my lunch next week, but kept going back for more and more !!!!!!!!! :=)

  Good, quick and easy supper. I used some cubed pancetta that was loitttering in the fridge. All my blue cheese melted away so whilst you got the flavour of it, I would probably only add it at the very end.

  This was absolutely delicious. I thought the cheese would make it too strong a taste for the smaller children (though they hated the smell) but once they put some in their mouth, they ate it all up happily. I also added some cherry tomatoes at the same point as the cheese and peas and the depth of flavour was fantastic (I used chicken stock instead of veg as didn't have any and the pack of gorgonzola was only 125g instead of 150g but fine). Cooked 500g pasta and with the sauce as above, it made enough for 6. Will definitely be cooking this again.

  Quick to make and enjoyable to eat but ultimately unfulfilling. I felt that it lacked something and reading the reviews on here others have amended the recipie to improve depth of flavour. I think it needed some fresh parsley and I'd replace the veg oil with some garlic-infused olive oil. I'll cook it again with tweaks; the ease and speed of the recipie makes it a mid-week winner.
