A quick and easy homemade Gorgonzola cream sauce that is creamy, tangy, and perfect for pasta or steak. This sauce balances the bold flavor of blue cheese with a smooth, luscious texture.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz (115 g) Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled small
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp (28 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, a pinch (optional)
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Crumble 4 ounces (115 g) of Gorgonzola cheese into small pieces. Mince 1 clove of garlic finely. Measure out 1 cup (240 ml) of heavy cream and 2 tablespoons (28 g) of unsalted butter.
  2. Place your saucepan over low-medium heat and melt the butter slowly (about 1-2 minutes).
  3. Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook gently for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  4. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring as you go. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer (2-3 minutes).
  5. Reduce heat to low and add the crumbled Gorgonzola a handful at a time, stirring continuously until each addition melts into the cream (3-4 minutes).
  6. Add freshly ground black pepper to taste. Taste the sauce before adding salt; add a tiny pinch at a time if needed.
  7. Let the sauce cook on low for another 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring often.
  8. Remove from heat and add chopped fresh parsley if desired. Pour over pasta or steak immediately.

Notes

Keep heat low to prevent cheese from becoming grainy. Crumble cheese finely and add gradually. Add pasta water or milk to loosen sauce if too thick. Reheat gently with a splash of cream to restore texture.
