Gorgonzola Dolce is a sweeter, less salty cheese that is aged less.

How To Use Gorgonzola Cream Sauce:
You can use this sauce for a variety of different dishes.
One of my favorite ways to use it is for filet mignon.
In a medium size pan heated over high heat sear your seasoned filet for 5-10 minutes per side. The cooking time will depend on the thickness of your steaks and your preferred doneness.
Drizzle the sauce over the filet and serve immediately. .
Another delicious way is toss it with homemade or store bought gnocchi and top it with some crispy prosciutto.
To use it as a delicious pasta sauce bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your favorite pasta according to package directions. Drain the pasta and toss with the gorgonzola sauce, walnuts and top with grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese.
It also serves as a delicious cheese fondue. Dip green apples, crusty bread, or your favorite vegetables into the warm sauce.
