Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup low-fat milk
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 0.75 cup Gorgonzola cheese
- 0.5 cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, whisk together the low-fat milk and cornstarch until smooth. Ensure there are no lumps as this will help thicken the sauce.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, pour the milk mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until it starts to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and gradually add the Gorgonzola cheese, stirring continuously until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce is smooth, approximately 2-3 minutes.
Stir in the low-fat plain Greek yogurt, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and ground black pepper, mixing until well combined. Continue cooking on low heat for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the sauce sit for a minute to thicken further before serving.
Serve the Low Fat Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce immediately over your favorite pasta, grilled chicken, or roasted vegetables. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
