Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 medium shallot, minced
  • 4 oz Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • Salt and freshly cracked black pepper, to taste
  • A scrape of fresh nutmeg (optional)

Method
 

  1. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat, then cook the shallot until soft, about 2 minutes.
  2. Reduce heat to low, add the Gorgonzola and heavy cream, and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth, 3 to 4 minutes.
  3. Season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg if using, then spoon the sauce over pasta, steak, or vegetables right away.

Notes

Gorgonzola dolce gives a milder, creamier result; piccante brings a sharper bite. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools, so serve it immediately for the best texture.
