Ingredients
  

For the Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil or unsalted butter Adds richness and a flavorful base for sautéing mushrooms; substitute based on preference.
  • 8 ounces Sliced mushrooms Provides an earthy depth; any earthy mushroom works well, such as cremini or shiitake.
  • 1 cup Whole milk or heavy cream Contributes creaminess; heavy cream offers an ultra-rich sauce, or try a dairy-free alternative.
  • 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese (crumbled) Introduces a bold, tangy flavor that melts beautifully; blue cheese can be a delicious substitute.
  • 1 tablespoon White truffle oil Infuses a delicate aroma and luxurious flavor; add it off the heat to retain its elegance.
  • to taste Fresh or ground herbs (sage, oregano, thyme) Enhances flavor; fresh herbs provide a vibrant touch, while dried ones are convenient.
  • to taste Salt Essential for seasoning.
  • to taste Freshly ground black pepper Essential for seasoning and elevating all flavors.
  • to taste Grated parmesan cheese Adds a salty depth as a garnish.

Method
 

Cooking Instructions
  1. In a large saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter over medium-low heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms, stirring occasionally for about 5 minutes until they soften and turn golden brown.
  2. During the last minute of sautéing, season the mushrooms with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of whole milk or heavy cream, followed by 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes until the cheese melts into a smooth and creamy sauce.
  4. Remove the pan from heat and gently fold in 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil and your choice of herbs.
  5. Prepare your favorite pasta according to the package instructions, then drain and add it to the saucepan with the cream sauce.
  6. Plate the Gorgonzola Truffle Cream Mushrooms elegantly, topping each serving with grated parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
