Ingredients

  • 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
  • 200 milliliters Heavy cream
  • 30 grams Butter
  • 1 medium, minced Garlic clove
  • 0.5 teaspoons Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons, freshly ground Black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your ingredients: crumble the gorgonzola cheese into small pieces, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley if using.

Step 2

In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it's fully liquefied, being careful not to brown it.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened.

Step 4

Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine with the butter and garlic.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Add the crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the simmering cream, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted completely into the sauce.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 9

If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving to add a bright, herbal note to the sauce.

Step 10

Remove the saucepan from the heat and serve the gorgonzola sauce immediately over your choice of pasta, grilled meats, or vegetables.
