Simply put, I’m a sauce addict.
I love sauce on everything. Despite my complete obsession, knowing all the preservatives you get in store-bought sauces makes me shiver a little. That’s why I’ve set out to create my own delicious sauces. The first one is this super simple creamy gorgonzola sauce that pairs perfectly with steak. You can also use this baby on top of macaroni for a twist on macaroni and cheese.
I always thought you needed to make a roux (cooked flour and butter) to make sauce thick, but this recipe defies everything you would ever think you need to do to make a creamy, thick and delicious sauce. Basically, all you do is boil heavy cream on medium low for an hour.
I’m sure there is science behind why this works, but I like to think it’s magic…
What You’ll Need
4 cups heavy cream
4 ounces gorgonzola cheese (not creamy or dolce)
3 tablespoons fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon pepper
3 tablespoons fresh minced parsley
What You’ll Do
1) Bring heavy cream to a rapid boil in a medium sauce pan. Reduce heat slightly and let boil for the next hour stirring every few minutes (until thick and coats the back of a spoon). Make sure to keep an eye on this because it can boil over pretty easily.
2) Remove the pan from the heat. Add the gorgonzola, parmesan cheese, parsley, salt & pepper. Rapidly whisk the ingredients until cheese is melted and ingredients are combined.
So simple, right? This sauce is unreal! While it might not be the most low fat option, it is super low carb and a little goes a very long way! Who knew eating low carb could taste this good? 🙂
Love always,
