Decadent Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce
Indulge in this creamy, velvety Gorgonzola cheese sauce, a classic Italian delight. Its richness perfectly complements the bold, slightly sharp flavor of the Gorgonzola, making it a versatile addition to your culinary repertoire. Drizzle it over al dente pasta for a sophisticated twist on mac and cheese, or use it as a luxurious dip for a crusty baguette. This sauce hails from the Lombardy region of Italy, where Gorgonzola cheese originated, and it carries with it a rich tradition of Italian gastronomy.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon, or to taste
- Black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon, or to taste
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup
- Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup, crumbled
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté for about 1 minute until it has released its aroma but has not browned.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Reduce the heat to low, then add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the saucepan. Stir until the cheese has fully melted into the cream, creating a smooth sauce.
- Season the sauce with the salt and black pepper, adjusting to your taste. Be cautious when adding salt, as the Gorgonzola may already be quite salty.
- Serve the sauce immediately while hot. Pour it over your favorite pasta or serve as a dip with fresh, warm bread. Enjoy!
