This recipe did not work for us at all. The blue cheese was way too overpowering for the pasta. Not an experiment I'll be repeating.

The only thing I changed was to add some tomato. I was surprised by this recipe. I thought blue cheese and walnuts would taste weird together, but it really was delicious.

very bland, but not horrible. i think it would be better with a creamier sauce.

Excellent idea for pasta! I thought it was a bit pungent, so I added some dried cranberries and some mango chutney. The sweetness balanced the dish perfectly. I will definitely make this again!

The recipe as written is really good, but if you want to make it excellent and really "wow" your dinner party, do this: up the garlic and add sun dried tomatoes and mushrooms. Once you toss it with the noodles and blue cheese, taste it and salt and pepper accordingly. It tastes amazing and has a real restaurant quality to it. Try it!!!

Pretty good, but I did make a few changes. I added salt and I mixed a little of the blue cheese and the walnut mixture in with the pasta so it melted a little and coated the pasta a bit. Then I served and sprinkled some blue cheese on top.

Mmmm... My buddy, Ennis, shared this recipe with me and it was awesome! He's pretty much full-blown granola, so I wasn't sure if I would like it. I used whole wheat pasta to make it extra wholesome. It definitely needed salt and pepper. Also, a pinch of nutmeg was a nice addition.
