🥘 Ingredients

• 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese

• 1 medium, minced Garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons, freshly ground Black pepper

📝 Instructions

10 steps

1. Begin by preparing your ingredients: crumble the gorgonzola cheese into small pieces, mince the garlic, and chop the parsley if using.

2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until it's fully liquefied, being careful not to brown it.

3. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute, until the garlic is fragrant and slightly softened.

4. Pour the heavy cream into the saucepan, stirring gently to combine with the butter and garlic.

5. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.

6. Add the crumbled gorgonzola cheese to the simmering cream, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted completely into the sauce.

7. Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

8. Reduce the heat to low and let the sauce simmer gently for an additional 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

9. If using, stir in the chopped fresh parsley just before serving to add a bright, herbal note to the sauce.

10. Remove the saucepan from the heat and serve the gorgonzola sauce immediately over your choice of pasta, grilled meats, or vegetables.
