Cuisine: Italian
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes

Servings: 4 to 6

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces shell pasta

  • 4 ounces crumbled blue cheese
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons butter

Here's how to make it:

  3. Serve with additional crumbled blue cheese and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
