Recipe Tips
Use any kind of cheese you like for this sauce – mature cheddar and blue cheeses both work well. If using a milder cheese, add a little extra for a fuller flavour.
If you don’t have double cream, use single cream or crème fraîche instead. Soft cheese, such as cream cheese, can be used as alternative too – it’s richer than the cream, so 100g/3½oz should be plenty, along with an extra splash of water.
If you have any fresh herbs to hand, such as parsley, basil or dill, finely chop and add to the sauce at the same time as the pasta. You can also stir in dried chilli flakes, sliced fresh chilli and finely sliced spring onions.
