GNOCCHI WITH CREAMY GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Gnocchi with Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce image

Provided by Laura Giannatempo

Categories     Main Course

Yield Yields 2 scant cups sauce.

Number Of Ingredients 6

Kosher salt
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 lb. Gorgonzola dolce (soft Gorgonzola), rind removed and cheese cut into 1-inch dice, at room temperature
1-1/2 tsp. all-purpose flour
1 recipe Potato Gnocchi
1/3 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat.
  • Heat the heavy cream in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat until small bubbles begin to form in the middle and on the sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the Gorgonzola and cook, stirring, until it's completely melted, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and whisk in the flour. Cook, stirring, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 3 minutes more. Turn off the heat and cover to keep warm.
  • To get the gnocchi into the boiling water, fold the parchment ends to form a chute and gently shake the gnocchi out, taking care not to clump them together as you drop them in. Give one gentle stir, wait until the gnocchi all float to the surface of the water, and then cook them for 1 minute. Carefully drain the gnocchi in a colander. Transfer them to the sauce and gently toss to coat. Serve immediately, topped with the parsley, if using.

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.

1 cup whipping cream
3 cups crumbled Gorgonzola cheese (about 13 ounces)

Mash potatoes until smooth. Mix in egg. Sift flour, salt, pepper, and nutmeg over potato mixture; stir to combine. Knead gently. Divide dough into 8 pieces.

GNOCCHI WITH MUSHROOMS AND GORGONZOLA SAUCE



Gnocchi with Mushrooms and Gorgonzola Sauce image

The earthy flavor of mushrooms is offset by a luscious Gorgonzola cheese sauce. It is important not to substitute another type of blue cheese in this dish; the creamy quality of genuine Gorgonzola is necessary for the best results.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 pounds Yukon Gold or russet potatoes
3 tablespoons coarse salt
2 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Olive oil, for brushing
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for brushing
1 tablespoon coarse salt, plus more for seasoning
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable stock
4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg
Pinch of cayenne pepper
12 ounces assorted mushrooms, such as chanterelle, cremini, and portobello, stemmed and coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Make the gnocchi: Lightly flour a baking sheet. Put potatoes in a large saucepan; cover with cold water by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Reduce to a simmer; cook until potatoes are very tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 25 minutes.
  • Drain potatoes. When they are just cool enough to handle, peel, and then pass through a ricer or food mill into a medium bowl. Sprinkle with flour, and add eggs. Season with black pepper and 1 tablespoon salt. Stir mixture with a fork to combine.
  • Turn out dough onto a lightly floured surface; gently knead until it is soft and smooth, about 3 minutes. Divide dough into 4 to 6 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a long rope about 3/4 inch thick. Cut ropes crosswise into 1-inch gnocchi.
  • Roll a cut side of each dumpling against the tines of a fork with your thumb so each piece has ridges on 1 side and an indentation on the other. Place on the floured baking sheet until ready to cook (up to 12 hours in the refrigerator, uncovered).
  • Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add 1 tablespoon salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the oiled baking sheet. Repeat process with remaining gnocchi. (The cooked gnocchi can be tossed in oil and stored, in an airtight container, in the refrigerator up to 24 hours.)
  • Make the sauce: Bring cream and stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high. Reduce heat, and let mixture simmer until slightly thickened and reduced by 1/3, about 10 minutes. Add Gorgonzola; stir until melted. Stir in nutmeg and cayenne. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
  • Heat oil in a large skillet over medium until hot but not smoking. Add mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and their released liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add gnocchi; cook, stirring gently, until just heated through. Pour cheese sauce over gnocchi and toss gently to coat evenly. Serve immediately.
