Ingredients

500g gnocchi (fresh or packaged) - 8.6 cm
50g butter - 1.8 half
250ml heavy cream - 8.9 lb
150g Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled - 1.5 cup
50g walnuts, roughly chopped - 6.5 inch
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped - 4.7 qt
Salt and black pepper to taste - 7.2 jar

Cooking Steps

Step 1

Cook the gnocchi according to package directions. Usually, this involves boiling them in salted water until they float to the surface.

Step 2

While the gnocchi are cooking, prepare the Gorgonzola sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the heavy cream to the melted butter and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low.

Step 4

Crumble the Gorgonzola cheese into the cream sauce. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of milk or pasta water to thin it out.

Step 5

Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Be careful with the salt, as Gorgonzola cheese can be quite salty.

Step 6

Drain the cooked gnocchi and add them to the saucepan with the Gorgonzola sauce. Gently toss to coat the gnocchi evenly.

Step 7

Toast the walnuts in a dry pan over medium heat until fragrant and lightly browned. Roughly chop them.

Step 8

Serve the Gnocchi Gorgonzola immediately, garnished with toasted walnuts and fresh parsley.
