Prep time:

Cooking time: 20 minutes

Total time:

Serves: 4

250g Penne Pasta

250g Stilton Cheese

150ml Single Cream

A Largeish handful of Kale

100g Walnut Pieces

Jo Arnell makes Pasta with Kale, Stilton and Walnuts

This is almost as simple as Kale Carbonara, but I tend to lightly steam the kale for 3-4 minutes before adding to the pan of drained, cooked pasta. While the pasta is cooking, put the cream in a pan and bring gently to a simmer. Crumble in the cheese and combine. Drain the cooked pasta quickly and put back in the pan, leaving a little of the cooking liquid. Add the other ingredients and mix them all gently together. Serve immediately.

Caramelised onion, bean & broccoli gratin with Alsop & Walker Smoked Mayfield Cheese

This is a wonderful side dish, or a delicious main course with a crisp green salad. The Alsop & Walker Smoked Mayfield, caramelised onions and soft beans are a match made in heaven. Make in advance and bake when ready...

Chicken, mushroom & leek soup with orzo

This is the such a bowl of incredible, deep flavour… the magical combination of beautiful mushrooms with leek and chicken. It’s full of protein and fibre, and yet feels so indulgent. You can use any mushrooms you choose – here...

Warm squash & mushroom salad with Alsop & Walker Ewe Eat Me Cheese and caramelised nuts 

What I love about this salad is both the beautiful flavour and the differing textures. I have used white oyster mushrooms from Basil’s Fungi Farm, but equally a brown chestnut would work well too.
