Pasta with Blue Cheese and Walnut

The saltiness of the blue cheese requires a touch of residual sweetness to counter balance it but dessert-levels would be too much. Broccoli florets add another dimension and non-vegetarians might want to add some diced bacon. The Italians produce wonderfully versatile rosés that would match well or opt for whites made from grapes like chenin blanc or pinot gris – both combine gentleness with bite. Alternatively try richer, riper versions of chardonnay for those that like more opulent wines. Gewurztraminer and riesling in their off-dry settings would work too.
