This was good but only after changing it. I made as directed first but found it much too rich. The dominate flavor was definitely gorgonzola. It was also very mushy and the balls fell apart easily. I found on the next batch, that making the balls very small (size of gnocchi or smaller), helped them to cook faster and stay together. I then experimented by adding about 1/2 cup - 1 cup flour into the dough instead of just rolling it in it. That helped A LOT. The dough was less rich and stayed together very easily. Thanks for the post - great idea and I had fun experimenting!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
