- Ingredients
- 500 grams macaroni
- salt
- 200 grams Gorgonzola
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 Tbsps butter
- 1 Tbsp Pastry flour
- 400 milliliters milk
- freshly ground peppers
- Nutmeg
- 1 pinch ground Saffron
- 100 milliliters whipped Whipped cream (at least 30% fat content)
- parsley (for garnish)
Preparation
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.
