How to Make Gorgonzola Marinara

  1. Sauté 1 medium onion, chopped, in 2 tablespoons olive oil until softened (about 5 minutes).
  2. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, 1 (28-ounce) can crushed tomatoes, and 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped. Simmer until tomatoes are cooked down and the sauce has thickened (10-20 minutes), stirring occasionally.
  3. Stir in 1 (24-ounce) jar of your favorite tomato sauce and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 4 tablespoons butter and 4 ounces gorgonzola cheese until melted and smooth. Stir into the simmering sauce until fully incorporated and heated through. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
