The gnocchi
Mix the flour, the eggs, the mashed potatoes (still warm) and the
spinach (be sure to have squeezed out all moisture) until you get a soft
dough. Let stand for twenty minutes. Roll out the dough into long rolls
about a 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 1-inch pieces. You can shape these by
making little balls and pressing lightly with a fork or the thumb.
The sauce
Melt the chopped Gorgonzola cheese in the cream and butter over a low
flame.
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil. Gently drop in the gnocchi.
When they float, remove with a slotted spoon and place in a warm serving
dish.
Pour the Gorgonzola sauce over the gnocchi, mix gently and serve at
once.
