Ingredients
- 150 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside. If using parsley for garnish, chop it finely as well.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant (avoid browning the garlic).
Step 4
Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently to combine.
Step 5
Bring the cream mixture to a very gentle simmer, then crumble in the gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.
Step 6
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Lower the heat to its lowest setting and allow the sauce to gently thicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 8
Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 9
Serve the sauce immediately over cooked pasta of your choice. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.
