A delightful pasta dish featuring a creamy blue cheese and lemon butter sauce, perfect for a quick yet indulgent meal.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente, then drain.
Reserve a cup of pasta water before draining to adjust the sauce consistency later.
Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown to maintain a smooth sauce.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and sauté until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the garlic from burning.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the blue cheese until melted.
Crumble the blue cheese for quicker melting.
Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring to combine. Simmer for 2 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Toss the cooked pasta with the sauce until evenly coated.
Add a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Serve the pasta topped with grated parmesan cheese and chopped chives.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
