And no, this isn’t just a haphazard dish that tastes so-so. On the contrary, this gorgonzola is well put together.
The combined flavors and textures are out of this world.
It features al dente noodles, creamy and piquant gorgonzola cream sauce, and a crunchy topping of toasted walnuts.
2. Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
If you’re obsessed with gorgonzola, whip up this easy cream sauce and use it on any savory entree that comes to mind.
This is a thick sauce made with heavy cream, gorgonzola, and Parmigiano.
Garlic cloves, mustard, and parsley cut through the cheeses’ richness to give you a well-balanced and versatile sauce.
Seriously, this sauce goes so well with anything.
Steak? Yes. Pasta? No doubt! Grilled pork chops and roasted chicken? You bet.
3. Steak with Gorgonzola Sauce
You can’t go wrong with a perfectly cooked steak. But you know what’ll make it even more irresistible? A generous smothering of gorgonzola sauce on top.
I know what you’re thinking: fatty steak plus cheese on top? Won’t that be overwhelmingly rich?
Absolutely not. That’s because the cheese sauce is also flavored with rosemary, garlic, and lemon juice.
Instead of adding more richness, the sauce balances out the fattiness of the steak with its wonderful combination of tang and citrus taste.
4. Pear, Prosciutto, and Gorgonzola Pizza
If unique pizza is what you’re craving, look no further. This pizza has a wide array of toppings and is beyond amazing.

Rosemary adds a layer of earthiness to the pizza, while a drizzling of honey gives it sweetness.
You’d think these elements would clash with each other, but nope! They actually work well together in creating harmonious flavors.
6. Parma Ham Canapés
Appetizers are a great way to set the tone of your party. If you want to impress your guests, be sure these canapes are on the menu.

7. Autumn Avocado Toast
Avocado toast has increased in popularity over the past few years, and for good reason.
Avocados are rich, creamy, delicious, and a good source of healthy fat, too!

These are simple additions that’ll make your humble toast restaurant-quality.
