Gorgonzola sauce is a creamy, tangy sauce that is perfect for pasta, pizza, or vegetables. It is made with gorgonzola cheese, cream, and milk, and can be seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices. The origins of gorgonzola sauce are unclear, but it is thought to have originated in Italy. The cheese used in the sauce is made from cow's milk and has a distinctively sharp, tangy flavor. Gorgonzola sauce is a popular ingredient in Italian cuisine and is often used in dishes such as pasta with gorgonzola sauce, pizza with gorgonzola sauce, and chicken with gorgonzola sauce.

Steps:
- Make the gnocchi: Lightly flour a baking sheet. Put potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce to a simmer; cook until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 25 minutes.
- Drain potatoes. When they are just cool enough to handle, peel, and then pass through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with flour, and add eggs. Season with black pepper and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir mixture with a fork to combine.
- Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead until it is soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 4 to 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut ropes crosswise into 1-inch gnocchi.
- Roll a cut side of each dumpling against the tines of a fork with your thumb so each piece has ridges on 1 side and an indentation on the other. Place on the floured baking sheet until ready to cook (up to 12 hours in the refrigerator, uncovered).
- Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the oiled baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi. (The cooked gnocchi can be tossed in oil and stored, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.)
- Make the sauce: Bring cream and stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat, and let mixture simmer until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/3, about 10 minutes. Add Gorgonzola; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and their released liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add gnocchi; cook, stirring gently, until just heated through. Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi and toss gently to coat evenly. Serve immediately.

BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA SAUCE
Trust me. Follow my method. You won't be disappointed! Serving Beef Tenderloin, otherwise known as filet of beef or filet mignon, is an expensive dish BUT keep this in mind: there is absolutely no waste if it's trimmed properly, it's delicious, easy to make, and it will WOW your guests every time. We like our meat cooked perfectly medium rare and not a spec more! I have adjusted the cooking times for a fool proof roast every time. Instead of a whole tenderloin, this time, I bought 2, 4.5 pound cuts. I think it's easier to handle 2 smaller cuts that are the same size in diameter.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees.
- Rub the beef with a light coating of olive oil and a generous amount of salt and pepper around all sides. Do not be afraid to use salt on the outside. You need this to season the meat or it will be bland.
- Use a large sheet pan with short sides, like a cookie sheet. Place a flat rack in the sheet pan to keep the meat off the pan.
- Insert an oven proof thermometer in one end so that the tip is in the middle of the roast. Do not insert the rod from the top, as it is too hard to get it in the middle. Use a thermometer that sits on the counter with a cord. (you can find this in my favorite cooking tools link, I can't live without this)
- 4. Cook the roast for 15 minutes at 450 degrees and than lower the oven to 325 degrees. Do not open the oven at all during this time. Set the thermometer to 120 for medium rare or 125 for medium.
- Take the roast out of the oven when the thermometer reaches the desired temperature and cover with foil. Do not remove the thermometer. Let the roast sit for 15-20 minutes before slicing. You will see the thermometer will rise another 8-10 degrees. Medium Rare will rise close to 130 and more medium with register at 135 on thermometer. It's very important to let the roast rest out of the oven, it will continue to cook and allow the juices to spread back out into the meat. This is how you get the perfect cooking throughout your meat from top to bottom and from end to end.
- Gorgonzola Sauce: Bring the cream to a full boil in a medium to large sauce pan, boil rapidly until sauce thickens and stir occasionally. Take off the heat and add the rest of the ingredients until the cheeses are melted. This sauce can easily be made ahead of time and reheated.

Tips for Making the Perfect Gorgonzola Sauce:
- Choose the right type of Gorgonzola cheese. There are two main types of Gorgonzola cheese: dolce and piccante. Dolce is a milder, sweeter cheese, while piccante is a sharper, more pungent cheese. For a sauce, you can use either type of cheese, but dolce is a more popular choice.
- Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients you use, the better your sauce will taste. Use fresh cream, butter, and milk, and choose a Gorgonzola cheese that is of good quality.
- Don't overheat the sauce. Gorgonzola sauce is a delicate sauce, and it can easily be overheated. Overheating can cause the sauce to separate and become grainy.
- Season the sauce to taste. Gorgonzola sauce is typically seasoned with salt, pepper, and nutmeg. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
- Serve the sauce immediately. Gorgonzola sauce is best served immediately after it is made. It can be used as a dipping sauce for bread or vegetables, or it can be used as a sauce for pasta or chicken.
Conclusion:
Gorgonzola sauce is a delicious and versatile sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is easy to make and can be made with just a few simple ingredients. With its creamy texture and sharp, tangy flavor, Gorgonzola sauce is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
