- 3 cups (710ml) heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
- ¾ cup gorgonzola
- ¼ cup Parmigiano Reggiano, grated
- 2 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
- 1½ tsp Dijon
- ½ tsp Kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
Reduce the heavy cream. Place 3 cups heavy cream and 3 smashed garlic cloves in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then reduce and simmer until thickened, about 10-15 minutes. Cream will eventually bubble up, so make sure your pan is not too small. Use a slotted spoon to remove garlic, then discard.
Stir in remaining ingredients. Add ¾ cup gorgonzola, ¼ cup grated Parmigiano Reggiano, 2 Tbsp chopped parsley, 1 ½ tsp Dijon, ½ tsp Kosher salt, and ¼ tsp black pepper, then stir until cheese has melted and the sauce is creamy and smooth.
- Cooking tip: This sauce bubbles fast—use a large saucepan and watch closely. If it rises, briefly remove from heat, then continue cooking.
- Storage & reheating: Refrigerate airtight up to 7 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave 2–3 minutes until smooth.
- Freezing: Cool completely, then freeze (flat in bags or in ice cube trays) up to 3 months.
