Preparation steps

1.

Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente.

Remove the rind from the Gorgonzola and cut into pieces.

Separate the garlic and crush into a pan with melted butter. Sweat until translucent, dust with the flour and stir. Pour in the milk and stir vigorously with a whisk to avoid lumps.

2.

Add the gorgonzola to the sauce and melt slowly over medium heat. Stir well and season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and saffron. Simmer for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, so it doesn't burn.

Drain the pasta and transfer to plates along with the sauce. Add a spoon of whipped cream on each and serve garnished with parsley leaves.
