Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 units Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 0.33 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Pour in the heavy cream and stir, allowing it to heat until it begins to simmer gently.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring constantly until it melts and the sauce is smooth.
Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and let them simmer in the sauce for 4-5 minutes to release their flavor.
Add the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the Parmesan is completely melted and the sauce is well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley if desired before serving.
Serve the sauce immediately over pasta, grilled chicken, or as a side for dipping bread.
