Ingredients
- Gnocchi
- 1 pound (450g)
- Gorgonzola cheese
- 150g, crumbled
- Heavy cream
- 1 cup (240ml)
- Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt
- to taste
- Black pepper
- to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.
- Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to package instructions, or until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat, allowing it to foam without browning.
- Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese to the skillet and stir continuously until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes smooth.
- Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to fully incorporate it into the cheese sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Gently add the cooked gnocchi into the skillet, tossing them in the creamy Gorgonzola sauce until they are well coated.
- Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve the Gnocchi al Gorgonzola in individual bowls, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Tips
- For a bit of heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
- You can substitute Gorgonzola with another blue cheese if desired, but the flavor profile will change slightly.
- To make this dish even more decadent, add crispy pancetta or sautéed mushrooms for extra texture and flavor.
