Gorgonzola Sauce - Simple & goes well with pasta/meat dishes, or as a cold dressing for salad -
- Please check below for cooking ideas -
RECIPE
I used Gorgonzola Dolce this time. It has a light taste and a beautiful texture.
Cut the cheese into 2 cm dice.
Put 120g fresh cream and 100g vegetable broth in a pot.
Once it boils, add salt & black pepper and turn off the stove. Add about 100g blue cheese and melt them over low heat. Please adjust the amount of cheese to your liking.
Just before the cheese completely melts, turn off the stove again and add
honey 10g. Mix the honey well. Please make sure not to boil it after adding the cheese. Keep gently cooking for the resulting beautiful flavour.

Pasta with Butternut Squash Sauce (Fast ???? Kid Friendly ????????)
This recipe hails from Gourmet magazine November 2006. It's a simple recipe, but very tasty, one truly adored by children and adults alike. Butternut squash is known for making silky smooth soups, so it's no surprise it can also act like a silky smooth sauce. There's a subtle hint of sage here, always a nice match for squash, and a slight richness thanks to a little butter, but this can easily be made vegan or dairy-free if necessary. See notes in recipe:
