Broccoli Blue Cheese Fettuccine

1 stick (8 Tablespoons) butter
1 bunch broccoli chopped
4 garlic cloves chopped
2 large green onions chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/4 pound blue cheese (or other favorite crumbly cheese)
1/4 cup grated parmesan
salt and pepper to taste
Pasta

In large pan (I like to use a wok) over medium high heat melt butter and then saute broccoli until starting to soften. Add garlic and onion and saute for 3 minutes. Add whipping cream and bring to light boil until slightly thickens (I've never had this recipe thicken on the heat, I bring to a boil and remove, it then usually thickens as you serve it). Toss with cheeses and pasta and serve.

This is a great basic recipe and you can add pretty much anything that you like that you think tastes good with cream. I usually add mushrooms and prawns.

Note: This recipe, apparently, is one of Brian Boitano's favorites.
