Ingredients

• Pasta (fettuccine or penne) - 160 grams
• Gorgonzola cheese - 100 grams, crumbled
• Heavy cream - 150 ml
• Butter - 30 grams
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (for serving)

Steps

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente.
2. While the pasta is cooking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring until melted and smooth.
4. Once the pasta is cooked, reserve 50 ml of pasta water and drain the rest. Add the drained pasta to the sauce, tossing to coat evenly.
5. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to achieve the desired consistency. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese.
