Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Potato gnocchi
- 150 grams Gorgonzola cheese
- 200 milliliters Heavy cream
- 20 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Boil a large pot of salted water over high heat. Add the potato gnocchi and cook as per the package instructions (typically 2-3 minutes or until the gnocchi float to the surface). Once the gnocchi are done, drain them and set them aside.
While the gnocchi are cooking, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Pour in the heavy cream and heat gently, stirring occasionally, for about 2 minutes until it starts to warm up.
Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese into the skillet and stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Season the sauce with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust the seasoning as necessary.
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss gently to coat them evenly with the Gorgonzola sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes over low heat to ensure the gnocchi are heated through.
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the gnocchi to serving plates. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy the wonderful flavors of this creamy, cheesy Italian dish.
