Report
A simple, 2 ingredient cheese sauce that's great with so many meals.
Share:
Ingredients
- ½ cup heavy cream (single cream in UK)
- 8 oz Gorgonzola dolce DOP Gorgonzola piccante DOP is also fine- DOP is best if you can source it
Instructions
- Put the cream in a medium sized pot over medium heat, then add the Gorgonzola cheese.
- With a wooden spoon or whisk, incorporate the cheese into the cream while bringing it to a boil. Keep stirring until the cheese is melted and a uniform sauce has formed. This should only take a few minutes.
- Remove from heat, and either add to pasta, gnocchi or other similar dish. Add some grated Parmigiano Reggiano if you like, too.
- If pouring over vegetables or steak, allow to cool slightly so it has a thicker pouring consistency.
Notes
- You can adjust the quantity of cream and cheese to suit your own taste. More cream will give a more runny sauce, whereas less cream or more cheese will result in a thicker sauce.
- The sauce will thicken significantly when it cools.
- The sauce can be frozen.
- IMPORTANT: Gorgonzola DOP is naturally lactose-free and also low in cholesterol, but ONLY if it is DOP.
