Warm Garlicky Blue Cheese Sauce Recipes

ROASTED POTATOES WITH WARM BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• For the potatoes: Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with the olive oil, rosemary, lemon zest and juice and some salt and pepper. Transfer to a baking sheet and roast until tender, about 35 minutes.
• For the blue cheese sauce: While the potatoes are cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until the flour begins to toast, about 3 minutes. Add the rosemary and nutmeg and cook, whisking, for 15 seconds more. Add the milk, bring to a simmer, reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cheese and 2 tablespoons of the chives.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl. Top with the cheese sauce and garnish with the minced Fresno, torn parsley and remaining chives.

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!

WARM BLUE CHEESE DIP WITH GARLIC AND BACON

Steps:

• Place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium high heat until evenly brown. Remove bacon from skillet, drain on paper towels and crumble.
• Place garlic in hot bacon grease. Cook and stir until soft, about 1 minute. Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place cream cheese and half-and-half in a medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until blended. Stir in bacon, garlic, blue cheese and chives. Transfer mixture to a medium baking dish.
• Bake covered in the preheated oven 30 minutes, or until lightly browned.

WARM GARLICKY BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Sauce -- In a small saucepan on medium low heat, add the cream, cheese, garlic and shallot, and let simmer for about 7-10 minutes until it slightly reduces.
• Finishing -- Once it has reduced slightly and the sauce thickens on it's own, add a pinch of hot sauce (optional), pepper, and the parsley. I don't add any salt as the cheese is salty enough. Stir well to combine.
• Serve -- Done! I love to drizzle over steak, roasts, pork chops and tenderloins, veggies, anything you want. Just ENJOY!

• Remove from heat and keep warm.
• In large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat, and cook steaks to your liking, turning only once.
• (About 4- 5 minutes per side will result in steak done to about medium, depending on your cook top).
• Sprinkle pepper over steaks, remove from skillet and keep warm.
• Add water to skillet and heat to boiling, stirring constantly to loosen browned bits.
• Boil 2 minutes, then stir pan juices into cheese mixture.
