Ingredients

• 500 g Potato gnocchi
• 150 g Gorgonzola cheese
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 1 tbsp Unsalted butter
• 30 g Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 tsp Nutmeg, freshly grated
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the gnocchi.

Step 2

While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the sauce. In a large skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and stir gently until it begins to heat through, about 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to let it boil.

Step 4

Crumble the gorgonzola cheese into the skillet and stir until it melts and combines with the cream, creating a smooth and creamy sauce.

Step 5

Season the sauce with nutmeg, salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Lower the heat to keep the sauce warm while you cook the gnocchi.

Step 6

Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water. They will cook quickly and are done when they float to the surface, usually in about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly into the skillet with the gorgonzola sauce.

Step 8

Gently toss the gnocchi in the sauce until they are evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the gnocchi cooking water to loosen it.

Step 9

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the gnocchi and toss again to incorporate.

Step 10

Divide the gnocchi into plates or bowls, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately.
