Pasta with Chicken, Spinach and Blue Cheese

This is a variation on this Spaghetti with Chicken, Spinach, Blue Cheese and Beans and actually the basic recipe that that comes out of. One of my ex's was a pretty good cook when it came to all things pasta and Italian and there are a few recipes of his that I still make on and off today, including the Basic Tomato Sauce that I make all the time. This was a staple in his house and is very simple to make and absolutely delicious.

There are so many variations that you could make; using any pasta shape you like, and swapping the dolcelatte in the recipe below for Stilton or Gorgonzola, or what ever you have. You could also add a little cream as I did in the bean recipe if you have some that needs using. This recipe is simple but effective, with the blue cheese packing a punch.
