Tagliatelle in walnut and  blue cheese sauce....

Put a couple of tablespoons of  vegetable oil and a dob of butter in a pan, and sweat 3 sliced garlic cloves and 80 gm of  sliced walnuts  in the mix
Add 100gm of fresh spinach leaves and cook briefly.
Pour in 200ml of thickened cream, stir and simmer gently.
season with salt and pepper and a pinch of nutmeg.
Cook dried tagliatelle...( or make fresh pasta with 6 eggs  and 3 cups of fine ground flour..the more eggs , the finer the texture of the pasta )..in salted water.
Drain when cooked, then add the pasta to the sauce, mixing gently and well.
Just before serving break the blue cheese into the pasta and sauce and let the cheese melt slightly before serving....
