Pasta With Blue Cheese Sauce


Ingredients:

2 spoons of oil
2 onions
2 cloves of garlic
200 gram of blue cheese
50ml whitewine
200ml of whipped cream
Herbs: grounded black pepper, salt
You also can add some fresh vegtables like zucchini, mushrooms, carrot (very fine sliced) or brocoli, for this cheese sauce i would recommend brocoli and mushrooms because the sauce will stick to it, and this is delicous.

500 gram of pasta i think you know how to do that, if not,
there are some usefull basic tips labeld as "Basics" to the right

  • Start like always with chopping the onions and the garlic. When your pasta needs 10 minutes to cook throw them right now in the boiling water
  • Sear the onions and the garlic in the oil for about 3 minutes
  • If you have choosen carrots put them right now into the pan and sear them for 2 minutes with the onions and the garlic
  • Put the heat down and put all the onions and the garlic to the side that you have a free circle in the middle of the pan, there you melt the blue cheeseKeep stiring because the cheese burns easy
  • When its melted, add the vegtables if you have decided to add some.
  • Add the withwine and cook it for about 2 minutes
  • Turn off the heatand add the wipped cream, mix it and season it to taste
your sauce is ready.

Manta ray / Adventurous Cooking

On the beach in colombia i was looking for some fish, i met a fishermen but he only had a manta ray to sell, so i hesitated a bit. When i heard the price was only 4 euros for a 7 kilo manta ray i bought i. 
To be clear, i dont like it when they kill endangered animals. But it was already dead in the sand...

In the end it looked like this, and was more than enough for 15 people

Won't post the recipe, don't think anybody will need it
