Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Whole milk
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 0.25 teaspoons Salt
  • 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 3

Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the garlic and butter mixture. Whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.

Step 4

Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Follow with the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until smooth.

Step 5

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.

Step 7

Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8

If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve the warm Gorgonzola sauce immediately over your favorite dishes, such as steak, pasta, roasted vegetables, or bread.
