I made this!

I got home late-ish tonight and quickly headed to the workout room. By the time I was done there, it was after 8 p.m. and I was starving. And, strangely, I was craving that fantastic combo of hot sauce and blue cheese. So it was time to get creative.

This recipe took about 15 minutes to make and tasted great. Let's see. Gotta name it. How about...

Buffalo pasta with blue cheese

Ingredients:

• 8 oz. mostaccioli pasta (or whatever kind of pasta you prefer)
• 1 can Italian-style sliced stewed tomatoes
• 1 small can of green beans, or half a regular-sized can of green beans, drained
• 1/3 cup hot sauce (I used Frank's Red Hot)
• 4 Tbsp. flour
• About an ounce of crumbled blue cheese (to taste)

Directions:

1. Cook pasta according to directions on package.
2. While pasta is cooking, toss tomatoes (with juice) into a small saucepan and add drained can of green beans and hot sauce. Cook on medium heat, stirring occasionally.
3. Two minutes before pasta is finished cooking, add flour to vegetable mixture and stir until sauce is thickened.
4. Serve pasta topped with vegetable sauce and crumbled blue cheese. Serves two.
