Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by heating 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Once the oil shimmers, add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Season the mushrooms generously with salt and black pepper after about 4 minutes of cooking. Cook for an additional minute until softened.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of whole milk or heavy cream and 4 ounces of crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously over medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes until the sauce is smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil and fresh or dried herbs.
  5. If using freshly cooked pasta, add it directly to the sauce and toss for 1-2 minutes to coat.
  6. Serve immediately, finishing with a light sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese for creaminess.
