  • Remove the pan from the heat and add the Gorgonzola, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and parsley.

  • If you must reheat, warm the sauce over low heat until melted, then whick vigorously until the sauce comes together.
Comments
According to author Ina Garten boiling the cream really does work (doesn't curdle it) and it is the easiest sauce she's ever made. It can be flavored with mustard and horseradish instead of Gorgonzola.

Serve over filet of beef (filet mignon), other cuts of beef, or even pasta.
