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.

The combination of sweet and crunchy pears, salty and smoky prosciutto, and crumbly, salty, and piquant gorgonzola is delicious.   

Plus, look how stunning this pizza is! It’s as tasty as it is beautiful.

5. Caramelized Apple Gorgonzola Pizza  

If you’re a fan of the sweet and salty flavor combo, here’s another pizza flavor you’ll surely fall in love with.

Pizza dough is topped generously with caramelized apples and creamy gorgonzola and baked to melted perfection.

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.

Think ham and cheese sandwiches, but upscale.

Instead of regular ham, you’ll use parma ham. And instead of cheddar, you’ll use gorgonzola. Stuff them in canape cases, pop them in the oven, and voila. 

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!

But instead of having the usual mashed avos on toast, how about you level it up with gorgonzola, walnuts, honey, and cinnamon?

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

8. Rigatoni with Caramelized Onions and Gorgonzola

There’s pretty much no bad pasta in my book. Pasta in all shapes and sauces are always welcome in my belly.

Even without a red, white, or green sauce, this pasta will surely knock your socks off!

12. Homemade Potato Chips with Gorgonzola Cheese Sauce

Homemade chips are a lot easier to make than you think! Plus, they taste fresher and so much better than store-bought.

They’re crispy and crunchy, and delicious on their own. But we all know chips are more fun when there’s some type of dip or sauce involved.

In this pasta dish, the spinach leaves are cooked with olive oil, butter, Parmigiano Reggiano, and gorgonzola to make a sensational sauce.

It’s so good, even the kids will ask for seconds.

17. Honey Roasted Hasselback Butternut Squash with Gorgonzola and Walnuts 

This next dish is an absolute show-stopper!

Hasselback potatoes are great, but Hasselback butternut squash is a hundred times better.

What makes it so outrageously good? Well, maybe it’s the unique way the vegetable is sliced, or maybe the fact that it’s roasted.

Whatever it is, one thing’s for sure: this dish is one you won’t want to miss.
