From the Colfax (Calif.) Record, near Reno, comes the simple signature dish of the new, upscale Bella Sera Italian Restaurant & Vino. If you're doing low carbs, this is your dish, using fresh vegetables or Dreamfields pasta. If you're avoiding fat, avoid this rich warm dip.

Bella Sera's Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce
¼ cup unsalted butter
½ cup heavy cream
¼ cup Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, grated
Crusty Italian bread or cut-up raw vegetables

In sauce pan melt ¼ cup butter over medium heat. When butter foams add ½ cup whipping cream and heat till very hot but not boiling. Add ¼ cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese and 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese.

Heat well, stirring constantly until thickened. Serve over pasta or as a bread dip.

Makes approximately one cup of sauce for topping pasta, or as a dip for crusty Italian bread, so double or triple it.
