Ingredients

Scale

Pasta

  • 200 grams of pasta (such as fettuccine or linguine)

Sauce

  • 100 grams Gorgonzola cheese
  • 100 ml heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta, reserving a small cup of the pasta water.
  2. Prepare Cheese Sauce: In a saucepan over low heat, gently warm the heavy cream. Add the Gorgonzola cheese in chunks and stir continuously until the cheese has completely melted and the sauce is smooth.
  3. Toss Pasta with Sauce: Add the drained pasta to the cheese sauce and toss well to combine. If the sauce is too thick, add a little reserved pasta water to loosen it. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Add Truffle Oil: Drizzle the truffle oil over the pasta and gently toss again to distribute the aroma evenly throughout the dish.
  5. Serve: Plate the pasta immediately while warm and garnish with additional ground pepper if desired.

Notes

  • Use fresh pasta for a silkier texture.
  • If Gorgonzola is too strong, substitute half with cream cheese for a milder flavor.
  • Be cautious with truffle oil as it can overpower the dish—start with a small amount.
  • Pair with a simple green salad and white wine for a complete meal.
  • This dish is best served immediately for optimal creaminess and flavor.
