Ingredients
- 150 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Finely mince the garlic cloves and set aside. If using parsley for garnish, chop it finely as well.
Step 2
In a medium-sized saucepan, melt the butter over medium-low heat.

Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for 1 minute, or until fragrant (avoid browning the garlic).

Pour in the heavy cream and milk, stirring gently to combine.
Step 5
Bring the cream mixture to a very gentle simmer, then crumble in the gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely and the sauce becomes smooth.

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Step 7
Lower the heat to its lowest setting and allow the sauce to gently thicken for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Once the desired consistency is reached, remove the saucepan from heat.
Step 9
Serve the sauce immediately over cooked pasta of your choice. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese.
