Description
Ina Garten’s Gorgonzola Sauce is a creamy, flavorful sauce made with Gorgonzola cheese, heavy cream, and a touch of seasoning. The bold, tangy flavor of Gorgonzola is balanced by the richness of the cream, creating a sauce that’s both indulgent and versatile. This sauce pairs beautifully with steak, pasta, or even as a dip for bread or vegetables.

Scale
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 4 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
