Blue Cheese Carbonara


Easy blue cheese carbonara with added vegetables. Great with a glass of dry white wine.

Blue Cheese Carbonara

This recipe for Blue Cheese Carbonara was created out of a need to use up the last few pieces of Stilton I had in the fridge from Christmas and a few sorry looking vegetables in the veg rack. It produced a lovely comforting supper for one (hubby and kids had frittata to use up more of the eggs!). If you had some bacon this could be thrown into the frying pan before the vegetables.
