Gnocchi al gorgonzola

Mum called me at seven o’clock pm asking for a good dinner!!
I open the fridge and found some nice gorgonzola, so I prepared for her gnocchi al gorgonzola.
In less than one hour dinner was ready!!

THIS RECIPE IS VEGETARIAN

Ingredients for the gnocchi:
600 gr potatoes
250 gr flour
1 egg
Ingredients for the sauce:
200 gr gorgonzola
3 tbs milk

Boil the potatoes with the skin.
When they are ready drain them and peel them. Be careful, they will be very hot!
Smash them with a fork or with the “schiaccia patate” till they are still hot.


Put them in a bowl and add the flour and the egg.


Mix everything till it is smooth, don’t work it too much, the gnocchi dough is very delicate and doesn’t like to be over worked.
If you are in a hurry put everything in the blender and mix the dough for very few minutes.
Now, prepare the gnocchi:
Take a little amount of gnocchi dough and roll it in your hands till you have a worm.


Cut it in little pieces:


HERE ARE YOUR GNOCCHI!!!


Roll them in some flour so they will not stick to each other.
If you have some time put theme in the fridge, otherwise you can boil them immediately.
Put a pan filled with water on the stow and bring the water to boil. When the water is boiling add the salt.
When the water is boiling again put the gnocchi in the pan.


Stir the gnocchi very very gently and when they come up on the surface of the water, they are ready.
Drain them and put in the pan where you melted the gorgonzola with the milk for few minutes.


Now serve them in a dish where you put a tbs of salsa verde (see the previous post) if you won’t you can add some grated parmigiano and pepper!!!
