Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups milk
- 0.5 cups heavy cream
- 0.75 cups Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled)
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.125 teaspoons nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter.
Step 2
Once the butter has melted, add the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a whisk to create a roux, cooking for about 1-2 minutes until the mixture is lightly golden and the raw flour smell is gone.
Step 3
Gradually pour the milk into the roux, whisking constantly to combine and avoid lumps. Once fully combined, add the heavy cream and continue to whisk.
Step 4
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low and add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the sauce. Stir until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Step 6
Season the sauce with black pepper, garlic powder, and a pinch of nutmeg for added flavor. Stir to incorporate.
Step 7
Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 8
Serve immediately over your choice of pasta, steak, or vegetables.
