Directions
Combine ingredients and heat in microwave till heated through, or bake in hot oven.
Note: You can vary the amounts of cheese, but the blue cheese is very important for the flavor. We did not use much, but we kept getting the flavor. It was a wonderful part of the pasta. My husband wanted to know if it is always served hot and I told him that I would do that because of the soup content. I believe you could take this recipe and use sour cream and/or mayonnaise in place of the soup if you wanted a cold salad--again using the blue cheese as the most important ingredient. You can use more of the blue cheese than I estimated. Mary Curtis Posted to EAT-L Digest 16 Apr 97 by mary curtis <curtism@...> on Apr 16, 1997
