Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup whole milk
• 0.75 cup heavy cream
• 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0.125 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.

Step 2

Once the butter is melted and starts to bubble, add the all-purpose flour. Stir continuously with a whisk for about 1 minute to form a roux. The mixture should be smooth and start to turn a light golden color.

Step 3

Gradually add the whole milk to the roux, whisking constantly to combine and avoid any lumps.

Step 4

Follow with the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until the mixture is smooth and starts to thicken, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 5

Lower the heat to medium-low and add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir gently until both cheeses melt and the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 6

Add freshly ground black pepper, freshly grated nutmeg, and salt to the sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste.

Step 7

Continue cooking on low heat for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.

Step 8

Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.

Step 9

Serve the creamy Gorgonzola sauce immediately over your choice of pasta, vegetables, or grilled dishes.
