Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients
- 100g Gorgonzola Cheese, crumbled
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- 1 tablespoon Truffle Oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
Optional Garnish
- Fresh Parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely mince the garlic and crumble the Gorgonzola cheese to ensure it melts smoothly. Measure out the cream, butter, and truffle oil before starting.
- Sauté the Garlic: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the minced garlic and gently sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and translucent, avoiding browning to prevent bitterness.
- Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine with the garlic-butter base. Heat gently, bringing the mixture just to a simmer, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
- Melt in the Gorgonzola Cheese: Gradually add the crumbled Gorgonzola to the warm cream mixture. Stir constantly until the cheese is completely melted and the sauce becomes rich and smooth.
- Season and Finish with Truffle Oil: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the pan from heat and carefully stir in the truffle oil to infuse the sauce with its distinctive earthy aroma. Do not cook the truffle oil to preserve its flavor.
- Serve Warm: Serve the sauce warm over your choice of pasta, steak, roasted vegetables, or other preferred dishes. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Notes
- Use a creamy, well-aged Gorgonzola cheese for the best flavor.
- Cook on low heat to prevent curdling and ensure a smooth sauce.
- Add truffle oil off the heat to maintain its bold aroma.
- If the sauce is too thick, thin with a splash of milk or cream before serving.
- Butter is essential for smooth texture and balancing the strong flavor of the cheese.
