Skillet Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Walnuts

Skillet Gnocchi with Gorgonzola and Walnuts, a first course that is very tasty, creamy, and easy to prepare. In fact, this dish is also very quick to make because the gnocchi are not boiled but cooked directly in the pan with the sauce, so you don’t even have to wait for the water to boil!

I prepared the gnocchi with Gorgonzola, but you can also use Taleggio or another soft cheese that melts well. The walnuts add a crunchiness that fits perfectly. Try it and let me know what you think.
