Creamy Penne Pasta With Shallots And Blue Cheese – For One!
  1. Melt the butter in a small to medium skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced shallot with a pinch of salt, and sauté until the shallots are tender and browning in places, about five minutes. Sprinkle the flour over the shallots and sauté another 30 seconds, just so the flour flavor mellows. Then add the milk, juice from half the lemon and another small pinch of salt; stir or whisk the sauce until it thickens and becomes creamy. Add one of the Flavor Ups blue cheese crumble packages into the sauce and stir until the cheese melts evenly into it.

  2. In the meantime, bring a small pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne until it reaches al dente, according to package directions. Using a sieve, transfer the pasta to the sauce (with any residual pasta water) and stir the pasta into the sauce.

  3. Serve it to YOURSELF with the remaining blue cheese crumble package, along with fresh basil and a grind or two of black pepper. Oh! And the extra lemon, because that acid at the end is gawgeous.

  4. Serves 1! (Or two, if you’re into tiny portions.)
