VIC REEVES' STILTON SPAGHETTI WITH MUSHROOMS
Adapted from a recipe found on the UKTV website. I know some people adore Stilton, but for those who don't - and I'm among them - simply substitute a tasty cheese that you like and that you know works well in cooking. UPDATE: Thanks to Noo, I now know who Vic Reeves is. Well, in general terms! In posting this recipe, which I did modify from the original recipe (but I can no longer remember which elements are in the original recipe, and which I added), I had absolutely no idea who he was. I just assumed he was a chef I hadn't heard of. Well he evidently isn't a chef, but he's still basically someone I hadn't - and you maybe haven't - heard of! It's just that when I adapt recipes, I always like to acknowledge where they initially came from.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/Fan 180°C/400F/Gas Mark 6. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil, add the spaghetti and cook for 8-10 minutes or until the spaghetti is just tender.
- Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large (preferably non-stick) pan, add the garlic, mushrooms and thyme and saute for 5 minutes, stirring until the juices run. Add the Stilton and cream and gently heat through, stirring until the consistency is smooth and melted. Remove the pan from the heat and season to taste with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Drain the pasta, then return it to the pan, add the mushroom mixture, eggs and basil and mix well. Spoon either into one large, or four individual ovenproof dishes. Bake for 20-25mins (slightly less if cooking in the individual dishes) or until golden and crusty on top. Serve garnished with more fresh basil leaves.

SAUTEED MUSHROOMS WITH MELTED STILTON
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Trim mushrooms and halve if small or quarter if large. Crumble enough Stilton, not including rind, to measure about 1 cup. Force garlic through a garlic press.
- In a 9-inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté mushrooms, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in garlic and cream and gently boil until slightly thickened, about 4 minutes. Season mixture with salt and pepper and divide between 2 shallow 1-cup gratin dishes. Mushroom mixture may be made 1 day ahead and chilled, covered.
- Top mushroom mixture with Stilton and on a baking sheet bake in middle of oven until cheese is melted and bubbling, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Serve mushrooms with bread for sopping up sauce.
STILTON, BACON AND MUSHROOM STARTER
The strong flavours in the Stilton and bacon give this easy recipe an elaborate feel. It is served in England, but gets it's flavors from the Italian and French. In England, they serve it with "streaky bacon" which if I understand correctly, is an even fattier cut of bacon. Please correct me if I am wrong. Found this on the Stilton cheese site.
