Gorgonzola adds sharpness and a luxurious creamy texture that melts beautifully into the hot pasta and steak. You can use either dolce (mild) or piccante (strong) depending on your preference.
The Alfredo Sauce
This sauce is a creamy base made with:
- Butter

It’s smooth, rich, and clings perfectly to fettuccine or tagliatelle.
