Stilton, Bacon and Sage Penne
I created this recipe using a few of the products from my Forman and Field seasonal box, sent as part of the Knorr 'Best of British' campaign. This dish provides an ideal way of using up leftover Stilton from the Christmas cheeseboard as well as that odd rasher or two of bacon lurking at the back of the fridge. A few dried cranberries thrown in wouldn't go amis, nor would some toasted walnuts sprinkled on top. No need for salt as the cheese and bacon provide plenty already. If you don't have any creme fraiche to hand, use extra thick double cream with a squeeze of lemon juice instead.

Enjoy - this is REALLY good!

    Love the blog....but noticed a small spelling error on the above recipe.......it's 'ColSton Bassett' Stilton (I come from the village nextdoor, & used to make the Stilton referred to).
    Keep up the good work!
