Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Sauce
- 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
- 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.
