- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon taste sensation Italian seasoning
- 1 large red onion, peeled and sliced
- 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
- 120g chorizo slices, chopped
- 190g of pasta tubes
- 40g Taste Sensation Matured Blue Cheese powder
- 40g butter
- 30 g plan flour
- 400 ml semi-skimmed milk
- 1 heaped teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 slices of Maasdam cheese, torn
Mise en place
- Preheat your oven to 190° C (375° F - gas 5), [fan oven 170° C & reduce cooking time by 10 mins per hour]
Method
- Add the Taste Sensation Matured Blue Cheese powder to a mixing bowl and gradually whisk in the milk, leave to rest while you prepare the onions
- Cook the pasta shells in plenty of boiling water for about 12 minuets, or until done to your liking
- Meanwhile add the olive oil to your frying pan and saute the chopped onions for 5 minutes
- Add the crushed garlic and saute for a few minutes
- Add the chopped chorizo
- Stir in the taste sensation Italian seasoning
- Drain the pasta and stir it onto the onion mix to prevent it sticking together
- For the blue cheese sauce, melt the butter in a saucepan and stir in the flour to make a roux
- Gradually whisk in about a third of the milk/cheese powder and add the dried parsley to the mixture and bring to a boil. The moment it is boiling, stir in the rest and return to the boil.
- Tip the onion/pasta mix into a baking tray and spread it evenly
