Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the garlic and butter mixture. Whisk constantly for 1 minute to form a roux.
Slowly pour in the whole milk while whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Follow with the heavy cream, continuing to whisk until smooth.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently, and allow it to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Continue to stir until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
Season the sauce with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
If desired, garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve the warm Gorgonzola sauce immediately over your favorite dishes, such as steak, pasta, roasted vegetables, or bread.
