Add the pasta and the parsley to the pan, pour in the blue cheese sauce and cook until heated through, stirring to coat everything with the sauce.Divide among 6 plates and sprinkle with additional parsley. Serve immediately. If desired, some chopped apples may be added when you are sautéing the sprouts.
