Tips

  • 💡 For a touch of sweetness, consider adding a small amount of honey or balsamic reduction to balance the tanginess of the Gorgonzola.
  • 💡 If you prefer a thinner sauce, you can add a splash of milk or broth to achieve your desired consistency.
  • 💡 This sauce can be prepared in advance and reheated gently on the stovetop; just be sure to stir frequently to maintain its creaminess.
