5. Crumble the blue cheese into the sauce - add half the parsley and salt and pepper to taste, giving it a good stir.
6. Drain the pasta return to the pan and add the sauce - mix well.

We bought this non-carcinogenic Le Creuset fry pan 3 years ago because we were fed up with crumbling dangerous teflon on past purchases! We have used it regularily on the hob and in the oven and it is still perfect and non stick. Well worth the investment.
