75g walnut pieces
300g spaghetti
100g Stilton or other blue cheese
3 tbsp single cream
salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preparation method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (gas 4). Spread the walnuts on a baking sheet and bake for 5 minutes until lightly browned. Remove them from the oven and leave to cool, then crush coarsely.
2. Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to the boil. Tip in the spaghetti, bring back to the boil and cook for 10-12 minutes, or according to the packet instructions, until al dente.
3. Meanwhile, crumble the cheese into a saucepan. Add the cream, mix, and heat gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly.
4. Drain the pasta, setting aside 2 tbsp of the cooking water. Tip the pasta into a heated serving dish. Add the reserved cooking water to the blue cheese mixture. Pour this sauce over the pasta and stir until incorporated. Add the nuts, grind over some pepper and serve at once.
