Ingredients
- salt
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons (1 oz) butter
- 8 ounces Gorgonzola cheese finely crumbled
- freshly ground black pepper
- freshly grated nutmeg
- 24 ounces (1 ½ pounds) store-bought or homemade potato gnocchi
- 1/4 cup skinned hazelnuts coarsely chopped
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Meanwhile, warm the cream and melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Stir in the crumbled gorgonzola cheese.
- Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth, about 3 minutes.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper, and a grating of nutmeg. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the sauce is velvety and rich, 3 to 4 minutes more.
- Meanwhile, Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, or until tender and pillowy, 2 to 5 minutes. Drain the gnocchi.
- Stir the drained gnocchi into the sauce to coat, being mindful not to smush the tender pillows.
- Divvy the gnocchi and sauce among warm bowls and top with the chopped hazelnuts. Serve at once.
Notes
- Storage--Store leftover gnocchi and sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
- Reheating--Reheat in a double boiler over medium heat, stirring occasionally and gently, until warmed through. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of cream to loosen it.
- Dietary--To make this recipe gluten-free, use gluten-free gnocchi.
