First, start a large stock pot of water in high and bring to a boil. Do not add salt.
While that comes to a boil, melt butter over low heat in a small saucepan. This will take several minutes, which you can use to crumble the blue cheese if it isn't already. Also make sure to rinse the arugula if necessary and dry it. Once the butter is melted, add the gorgonzola and stir ocassionally. Keep on low heat.
4 tbsp butter, 8 oz blue cheese
Once the water is boiling, add the pasta and cook according to the package directions, usually 8-12 minutes for a dried pasta of this type. Reserve a small amount of the pasta water, just in case, and drain the pasta.
1 lb farfalle pasta
Toss the drained pasta with the blue cheese, butter and arugula.
6 oz arugula
Taste and add salt and pepper. Dish should take plenty of black pepper.
½ tsp salt, freshly ground black pepper
