Ingredients
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 1 tablespoon white truffle oil
- to taste ground sage
- to taste ground oregano
- to taste ground thyme
- to taste salt
- to taste black pepper
- for serving grated Parmesan cheese
- for serving cooked pasta
Instructions
1. Begin by warming the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re tender and lightly browned.
2. After 4 minutes of sautéing, season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance their natural flavors.
3. Pour in the milk and add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts completely, creating a smooth and velvety sauce.
4. Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the white truffle oil, along with the ground or freshly chopped sage, oregano, and thyme. Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to your liking. If you prefer a thicker consistency, you can add a bit more Gorgonzola or Parmesan cheese.
5. Toss the freshly cooked pasta directly into the saucepan, gently mixing until the pasta is evenly coated with the Gorgonzola Truffle Cream.
6. Transfer the pasta to a serving dish and finish it off with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Savor each bite of this rich and flavorful dish, letting the Gorgonzola and truffle notes dance on your palate.
