This is a great side dish & it has become a holiday tradition in my family. It is a perfect match with a prime rib meal. This dish can easily be converted to a main dish by adding fettuccine & beef medallions. Also quite good with shrimp.

Ingredients

1 1/2 Tbsp butter
1 1/2 Tbsp flour
1 1/2 c heavy cream (may substitute whole or 2% milk)
2 large clove garlic, finely minced
5-6 oz creamy gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
1-2 pinch salt (to taste)
1-2 pinch fresh cracked pepper (to taste)
1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 lb steamed broccoli florets
ALTERNATE FINISH:
1 c italian bread crumbs
3/4 c creamy gorgonzola cheese, crumbled

Steps:

1. Using a a medium size sauce pan, melt butter on medium-low heat. Add garlic & saute, stirring frequently. Add flour to create a roux & continue stirring until golden in color.
2. Using a whisk, stir in cream & blend until smooth. Add fresh grated nutmeg & cracked pepper. Increase heat to boil, whisking sauce until completely free of lumps & sauce is velvety smooth. Reduce heat to a simmer, allowing sauce to thicken while stirring. Remove pan from heat, add gorgonzola & continue whisking until the sauce is creamy smooth.

4. ALTERNATE FINISH: transfer contents of sauce pan to a casserole or baking dish. Cover with bread crumbs & crumbled gorgonzola & bake, uncovered at 350* for 15-20 minutes or until bread crumbs are golden brown.

Tips:

Choose the Right Broccoli: Look for broccoli with tight, compact florets and a deep green color. Avoid broccoli with yellowing or wilted florets.
Prepare the Broccoli Properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and steam or boil it until tender-crisp. You can also roast the broccoli in the oven for a more flavorful result.
Use High-Quality Ingredients: Gorgonzola cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese. Look for a gorgonzola that is creamy and flavorful, with a slightly pungent aroma.
Don't Overcook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to the package directions, but be careful not to overcook it. Pasta that is too soft will become mushy and won't hold its shape well in the sauce.
Add the Gorgonzola Sauce Gradually: When adding the gorgonzola sauce to the pasta, do it gradually and stir constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
Serve Immediately: Broccoli gorgonzola is best served immediately after it is made. The sauce will thicken as it cools, so if you need to make it ahead of time, reheat it gently over low heat before serving.

Conclusion:

Broccoli gorgonzola is a delicious and easy-to-make pasta dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. With its creamy, flavorful sauce and tender-crisp broccoli, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table.
