Italian Recipes

Ingredients:

• ¼ cup milk
• 5 oz gorgonzola sauce
• 3 tablespoons of butter
• ¼ cup of cream
• 3 tablespoons of freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• Some salt and pepper to taste

Directions:

Put all the milk into your pan or bowl (pyrex) and add in three tablespoons of butter which is cut into pieces. Then place the whole bowl inside the microwave oven and heat it up until the butter melts all the way and the milk gets warm enough. Stir and combine the gorgonzola sauce and mix it until the cheese melts again with the milk to achieve a pasty texture.

Add some cream and blend until it creates a smooth texture with the use of a blender. Put in some salt and pepper for the right taste and you can pour it over any kind of pasta that you have prepared. If you have made that is good enough for more than one serving, then you can just refrigerate for several days more and just reheat it in the microwave all over again.
