Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoons salt

In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to brown the garlic.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Reduce the heat to low and add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring until it melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Remove the sauce from heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve immediately over pasta, grilled steak, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
