Ingredients

  • For the gnocchi:
    • 10 oz boiled and peeled potatoes
    • 4 oz flour
    • 4 oz steamed and chopped spinach
    • 2 eggs
    • salt and nutmeg
  • For the sauce:
    • 5 oz Gorgonzola cheese
    • 3/4 cups cream
    • 2 oz butter

Instructions

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.
