Roquefort and Chicoree Pasta

On my grocery haul in France I bought some Roquefort cheese. 



It is from the cheese caves of Roquefort I've visited 25 years ago, when I spend 3 weeks in the South of France. They are not too far away from Millau. I still remember the smell in these caves. It was impressive to walk through them.



Roquefort and Pasta, a match made in heaven.

But some bits and pieces of vegetables are a must in even the creamiest sauce. Little heads of chicoree and onions came in to join. 

I had some dried egg fettucine pasta in one of my old Whisky cardboard tubes. I store all of my pasta in the tubes. It was just enough pasta for a single serving. It took a couple of minutes to cook them while the sauce was cooking. The fettuccine went in with one minute less of their cooking time to finish in the sauce.

Ingredients:

100 g fettuccine pasta

100 g Roquefort

1 onion, 2 green onions, 1 single garlic

50 g sweet corn

1 tbsp butter, 1 tsp oil

3 small chicoree heads

3 tbsp sour cream

5 tbsp pasta water

Salt, pepper
