GNOCCHI WITH GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Sauce image

Gorgonzola continues to age as it is stored in the refrigerator, intensifying in piquancy as it does. To slow this process down, wrap the cheese tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the coldest part of the refrigerator. This sauce is a good way to use leftover Gorgonzola cheese.

Yield makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Potato Gnocchi (page 170)
Salt
1/2 cup Chicken Stock (page 74) or canned reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground black pepper
4 ounces Gorgonzola
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Make the gnocchi.
  • Bring 6 quarts of salted water to a boil in an 8-quart pot over high heat. (If you plan to cook the gnocchi as soon as they are formed, put the water on to boil while the riced potatoes are cooling. If you are cooking previously frozen gnocchi, make sure the water is boiling before you remove the gnocchi from the freezer.)
  • Bring the stock, cream, and butter to a boil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season lightly with salt and pepper and boil until the sauce is lightly reduced, about 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the Gorgonzola until dissolved.
  • Drop the gnocchi into the boiling water a few at a time, stirring gently and continuously with a wooden spoon. Cook just until they rise to the surface and roll over, 2 to 3 minutes. If the skillet is large enough to accommodate the sauce and gnocchi, gently scoop the gnocchi out of the boiling water with a large wire skimmer and add them directly to the sauce in the skillet. If not, drain the gnocchi gently, return them to the pot, and pour in the sauce. Bring the sauce and gnocchi to a boil, stirring gently to coat the gnocchi with sauce. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano. Check the seasoning, adding salt if necessary. Serve immediately in warm bowls.

Tips:

  • To make the gnocchi from scratch, follow the recipe provided in the "Ingredients" section. However, if you are short on time, you can use store-bought gnocchi instead.
  • If you don't have Gorgonzola Dolce, you can substitute it with another type of Gorgonzola cheese, such as Gorgonzola Piccante or Gorgonzola Naturale. However, the flavor of the dish will be slightly different.
  • If you want a vegetarian version of this dish, you can omit the pancetta or guanciale. You can also use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
  • To make sure the gnocchi is cooked evenly, make sure to stir it gently but frequently while it is cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the gnocchi. Otherwise, the gnocchi will stick together and become mushy.
  • Serve the gnocchi gratin immediately after it is baked. This will ensure that the gnocchi is still hot and crispy.

Conclusion:

Gnocchi gratin with Gorgonzola Dolce is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. The creamy Gorgonzola sauce, crispy gnocchi, and flavorful pancetta or guanciale make this dish a surefire hit.
