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.
