Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by preheating a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Once hot, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil or butter, allowing it to shimmer for about 2 minutes.
  2. Add 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms to the pan, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until they are golden and tender. Season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Pour in 1 cup of milk or cream, then crumble in 4 ounces of Gorgonzola cheese. Stir gently over low heat for 3 to 4 minutes until the cheese melts completely.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and drizzle in 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil, stirring to blend. Add 1 teaspoon each of ground sage, oregano, and thyme.
  5. If you prefer a thicker sauce, return the mixture to low heat. Gradually add an additional ounce of Gorgonzola or 2 tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Toss your prepared sauce with freshly cooked pasta, ensuring every strand is coated evenly. Serve immediately, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
