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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Put the cream in a medium sized pot over medium heat, then add the Gorgonzola cheese.
  2. 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.
  3. Remove from heat, and either add to pasta, gnocchi or other similar dish. Add some grated Parmigiano Reggiano if you like, too.
  4. 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.
