Tools

Steps
Take the cauliflower, wash and boil it in salted water for about 15-20 minutes. Once ready put the florets in your blender pitcher, adding also the ricotta, the grated Parmesan and the milk. Taste the cream and adjust the salt if necessary.
Blend the ingredients until you obtain a smooth and creamy texture. If too thick, adjust by adding a little more milk.
Take your potato gnocchi and boil them.
My gnocchi cooked for 2 minutes and they were ready. Cook according to yours. I dipped them in the wonderful cauliflower cream and plated them by adding provolone shavings on top. All that’s left is to wish you bon appétit.
Tips
You can also use the cauliflower cream to dress other types of pasta; even dry pasta (penne, mezze maniche, fusilli) will be perfect.
