Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, warm about 2 tablespoons of olive oil or unsalted butter until shimmering. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until golden brown.
- Season the mushrooms with a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper after about 4 minutes of sautéing to enhance their natural flavors.
- Pour 1 cup of whole milk or heavy cream into the pan with the mushrooms, and add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese. Stir continuously until the cheese melts into the cream, creating a smooth and velvety sauce.
- Once the cheese is fully incorporated, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in 1 tablespoon of white truffle oil along with sage, oregano, and thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Cook your favorite pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving a small cup of the cooking water. Toss the hot pasta in the Gorgonzola truffle cream sauce, adding reserved water if the sauce is too thick.
- Plate the pasta and finish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, possibly with a side of arugula salad dressed with lemon juice.

Notes
Best enjoyed fresh, as the sauce may thicken as it cools. Reheat gently with a splash of milk or cream if needed.
