Blue Cheese Pasta Salad

Blue Cheese Pasta Salad Recipe:

BLUE CHEESE PASTA SALAD

8 oz      pasta, dried
4 oz      blue cheese, crumbled
2 cups    walnuts, toasted and chopped
1 cup    celery, chopped
4 tblsp   mayonnaise
1/8 tsp   white pepper and salt
3 tblsp   parsley, minced

Cook pasta according to directions. Immediately rinse
with cold water and drain well. Add cheese, walnuts,
celery, mayo, salt and pepper. Gently toss with 2
forks until the ingredients are well mixed.
Refrigerate until serving. You may need to add a
little more mayonnaise if the salad seems dry.
Sprinkle with the parsley and serve slightly chilled.

Note: This pasta salad is best when made the day
before it is to be served or at least several hours in
advance, so that the flavor of the blue cheese has a
chance to develop. Keep in the refrigerator.
