Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1.5 cups Heavy Cream
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola Cheese crumbled
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
  • 1/4 tsp Salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper freshly ground, or to taste
  • 1 pinch Nutmeg freshly grated (optional)

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Wooden Spoon

Method
 

Prepare the Base
  1. Melt the unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown it.
  2. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Reduce the heat to low.
Melt the Cheese
  1. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the simmering cream. Stir continuously with a whisk or wooden spoon until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Stir in the freshly grated Parmesan cheese until it is fully incorporated and the sauce is thickened.
Season and Serve
  1. Season the sauce with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg (if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Remember Gorgonzola is salty, so add salt cautiously.
  2. Remove from heat and serve immediately. The sauce will thicken further as it cools.

Notes

This Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce is fantastic tossed with pasta (fettuccine or tagliatelle are excellent choices), spooned over grilled steak or chicken, or served with gnocchi. For a milder flavor, use less Gorgonzola or a dolce (sweet) variety. If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it with a splash of warm milk or pasta water.
