• Chef's Tips

  You can use gluten free pasta instead of regular pasta. Substitute the blue cheese with your favourite white cheese.

  2. In a separate bowl combine, mayonnaise, sour cream, blue cheese, lemon juice and chives.  Mix well and set aside.
  3. To blanch off the green beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, beans and cook for 3-4 minutes.  Drain, cool in cold water and set aside.
