APHRODISIAC TAGLIATELLE WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Boil the tagliatelle until cooked through yet slightly firm, 8 to 10 minutes; drain.
• Drizzle olive oil over the cooked pasta and toss gently to coat.
• Heat the cream in a saucepan over low heat until warm; stir in the blue cheese, garlic powder, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, white pepper, nutmeg, oregano, and basil. Cook very gently until the blue cheese has melted and the sauce is hot, but don't let the sauce boil.
• Place the tagliatelle in a serving dish and pour the sauce over the pasta. Top with walnuts to serve.

BLUE CHEESE POTATOES DELMONICO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place the potatoes in a large saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain, and transfer to a casserole dish.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Whisk in the flour, and cook for 5 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the milk and cream so there are no lumps. Reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in the blue cheese until smooth. Pour over the potatoes in the dish. Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the top.
• Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, or until top is nicely browned.

• Just before serving, stir in chopped walnuts and top with more chives. Enjoy with celery, cabbage and saltine crackers.

Add to the frying pan along with the zucchini and simmer for 5 minutes or until sauce has thickened. Remove from heat. Stir through blue cheese and half the prosciutto. Pour cheese sauce over tortellini and toss to coat. Divide mixture amongst serving plates and top with remaining prosciutto and Parmesan.
