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

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

These turned out great, easy to work with, light and fluffy when cooked. Only cooked 25 of them and made half the sauce but less blue cheese. Great flavor to the sauce. I froze the other 80 I got from the recipe so will see how they cook up. Served with Italian bread and a salad.

I made the gnocchi and used my red sauce (family recipe).These brought back memories of my aunt Lina. Very very good.

Simple, very rich - I used store-bought gnocchi so it was a ten-minute meal.

I have always wanted to make gnocchi and now I can say that I did and I'm good at it! This was so easy to make and the little dumplings were light and fluffy. We aren't real blue cheese people so I mixed it with parmesan, cheddar and mozzarella. There was a ton of cheese, but everyone really liked it! We enjoyed this very much with Recipe #316270. Made for ZWT7 for our tour guide. Thanks Leslie! :)
