Blue cheese and brocolli pasta

I've had a few internet issues in the last week or so hence the lack of updates, hopefully this is all now sorted out and I should be back on track.....

A few blogs ago I told you about a website that appears to take some of the hastle out of planning your meals and knowing what ingredients to buy http://resourcefulcook.com/. This free website allows you to choose your menu for the week or a few days then gives you the recipes and a shopping list which you can also add your own items to. So I thought I would give it a try. I have to say it seemed great to be able to select the menus and just be given the shopping list so a big plus for that. I chose to go for a vegetarian menu, simple and quick recipes at a reasonable cost.

The first recipe was Blue Cheese and Brocolli Penne, admittedly I used pasta shells because I had them in stock but otherwise I pretty much followed the given recipe, a bit of a risk since blue cheese is not too popular with certain members of the family!!! The recipe was really easy and quick to make, the portions were more than ample but I have to say the meal was a little dull, not much more than just pasta with brocolli! Although it had plenty of strong flavours in the sauce it wasn't really thick enough to coat the pasta and was a little disappointing. Unfortuantely we both got a little bored of the food before we'd finished.

I guess I need to try out some more of the recipes in order to be able to recommend the site, the verdict is out at the moment.....
