• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• For the gnocchi

• 2  lbs potatoes
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt
• 1 1⁄2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour

• For the sauce

• 2⁄3 lb gorgonzola, dolce
• 1⁄4 cup butter
• 1⁄4 cup heavy cream
• 1⁄4 cup  freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Directions

1. Make the gnocchi:
2. Peel potatoes.
3. Boil the potatoes for about 20 minutes in salted water until tender.
4. Pass potatoes through the fine disk of a potato ricer, and cool.
5. Pour the potato onto the counter, and begin to mix in the flour.
6. Add a pinch of salt and gather into a dough.
7. Cut the dough into 4 pieces, and roll into finger-thick logs.
8. Cut each log into 1" pieces, and press each over the reversed tines of a fork (the resulting ridges allow the gnocchi to grab onto the sauce later).
9. Now dust a tray with flour and line the gnocchi in a single layer on top of it.
10. Set aside, and bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
11. Once boiling, drop in the gnocchi, and remove them with a slotted spoon when they rise to the surface (this means they are ready).
12. Meanwhile, crumble the Gorgonzola into chunks, and melt in a pan over medium-low heat with the butter and cream.
13. When ready, combine the gnocchi and the sauce, sprinkle with the Parmigiano, and serve.
