Easy Truffled Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

EASY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE PASTA

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1/2 cup of the pasta water, then drain the noodles.
• Turn the heat down to low and add the butter to the pot.
• When the butter has melted, add the noodles back to the pot and stir to coat.
• Slowly add the blue cheese, stirring the noodles so the cheese melts.
• As you add the cheese, also drizzle a little of the reserved pasta water over the noodles, using as much or as little as needed. The water will keep the noodles from clumping together and thin out the blue cheese as it melts so the sauce has a lighter, less-sticky texture.
• Once the blue cheese has mostly melted, stir in the parsley. Add salt to taste.
• Serve immediately and enjoy!

BLUE CHEESE AND BACON TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a medium skillet and heat over medium heat. Cook the bacon until almost entirely crispy, about 10 minutes. Add the shallots and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, scoop the bacon mixture into a medium bowl. Add the cream cheese and gorgonzola and mix well with a rubber spatula. Using a 1-tablespoon ice cream scoop, scoop little balls of the cheese mixture and roll them between your palms to smooth. Place on a plate, cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
• When ready to serve, allow the balls to sit at room temperature for 5 minutes. Mix together the pretzels and chives in a small bowl. Roll the truffles in the crushed pretzel mixture and serve.

HOMEMADE BLUE CHEESE DRESSING (BETTER THAN STORE-BOUGHT)

Steps:

• Combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, blue cheese, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl and stir until well blended and creamy.
• Use the back of a spoon to press some of the blue cheese crumbles into the sauce for even more flavor. The dressing will be thick, which makes it perfect for dips.
• For a pourable dressing that's perfect for salads, stir in a tablespoon or two of milk, buttermilk or water. Taste then adjust with additional lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Keep, tightly covered, in the refrigerator for one week.

TRUFFLE CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Combine heavy cream and truffle oil in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil. Stir in Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has a creamy consistency without conglomerates of cheese, about 5 minutes.

BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a pan over a medium heat, then stir in the flour and let cook for 1 min or so. Gradually pour in the milk, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and all the milk has been added. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in the cheese. Cook until the cheese has melted and the sauce has thickened slightly, then season to taste and serve.
