FARFALLE WITH ASPARAGUS, RED ONION, WALNUTS & BLUE CHEESE

Steps:

• Cook pasta in plenty of salted boiling water according to the package directions. Three (3) minutes before the pasta is done, add the asparagus. Drain.
• Meanwhile, over medium heat, toast the walnuts in a large dry skillet until they are aromatic and lightly browned. CAREFUL not to burn. About 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Once cooled, either leave halved or do a rough chop but leave some big pieces.
• Over medium heat, heat 2 T of olive oil in a large skillet, add onion and cook until onion is softened and translucent, about 7-9 minutes. I prefer to cook longer until they are caramelized.
• Toss the pasta & asparagus with the onion, walnuts and blue cheese. Stir in remaining 1T olive oil. Add salt & pepper, to taste.

JILL'S FLAKY CHEESE ROLLS

Steps:

• Unroll croissant dough and cut into squares (if you bought the kind that is pre-cut into triangles then form squares by "glueing" two of them together with a little water).
• Spread cream cheese as thickly as you want onto the dough and sprinkle chives on top.
• Roll dough up like a jelly roll (rolling it in a crescent shape will make the cheese run out while baking). Pinch the edges closed if you want. Bake according to directions on dough package.
• Serve to hungry guests.

GREEN BEANS WITH BLUE CHEESE AND WALNUTS

• Add the cooked green beans and stir to coat beans with the flavored butter.
• Remove from heat. Stir in the blue cheese and serve immediately.
