Creamy Blue Cheese Sausage and Peas Pasta

[heart_this] · May 22, 2023 · 1 Comment

Creamy Blue Cheese Sausage and Peas Pasta

A quick and easy creamy blue cheese pasta with sausage and peas!

Blue cheese is a food that I don’t use nearly often enough and this sausage and pea pasta is a great way to enjoy it! This recipe is such a simple one, you cook the sausage, add cream, and melt the blue cheese into it before adding the peas and pasta! For some reason I think about peas in the spring so this is the time of year that I like this recipe! If you are not a fan of blue cheese you can easily replace it with another cheese, such as parmesan or asiago.
