Angel Hair Pasta with Gorgonzola Sauce

Ingredients

• 10 ounces angel hair pasta
• 2 cups 1 low-fat milk
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 pinch cayenne pepper
• Salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup crumbled Gorgonzola cheese
• 1/4 cup finely chopped green onion tops

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the water. Return drained pasta to the pot.

Whisk milk and flour together in a large nonstick skillet; add cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Heat milk mixture over medium heat while whisking continually until bubbling and thickened, about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle Gorgonzola cheese into the milk mixture, stirring continually to melt the cheese into a sauce. Stir green onions into the sauce. Pour reserved water into the sauce; stir.

Pour sauce over the cooked pasta and toss to coat.
