Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook for 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.
While the pasta is cooking, heat a dry frying pan over medium heat. Add the walnuts and toast them for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden and fragrant. Remove from the heat and set aside.
In the same frying pan, add the Olive Oil and heat over medium-low heat. Add the blue cheese and stir gently until it begins to melt.
Add the cooked linguine to the pan with the melted blue cheese. Toss to coat the pasta in the cheese, adding a splash of reserved pasta water if the sauce is too thick.
Stir in the toasted walnuts, season with salt and black pepper to taste, and toss everything together until well combined.
Serve the linguine immediately, topped with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of colour and freshness.
