Ingredients for Pasta Dumplings with Gorgonzola
- 1.1 lbs fresh dumplings (or small gnocchi)
- 5.3 oz smoked bacon (diced)
- 5.3 oz gorgonzola (mild)
- 3 tbsp milk
- 2 sprigs thyme
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pan
- 1 Pot
- 1 Slotted spoon
Preparation of Pasta Dumplings with Gorgonzola
First, heat a large pan (or skillet) well and brown the bacon WITHOUT any seasoning.
When it becomes crispy, add the mild gorgonzola in pieces and the milk.
Let the cheese melt over low heat, then season with a grind of black pepper and some thyme leaves.
Meanwhile, cook the dumplings in plenty of salted boiling water until they float to the surface. Drain them with a slotted spoon and transfer them directly into the sauce pan.
Gently mix them to combine all the ingredients well.
Serve the pasta dumplings with gorgonzola on individual plates, sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately, piping hot. Enjoy! Paola
