Gnocchi with gorgonzola is a creamy first course suitable to be served any time of the year 😉
Here the sweltering heat continues and cold dishes are still enjoyed but today I wanted a slightly different first course.
It’s been a while since I last made gnocchi and today I craved them.
For the sauce, I wanted to use fresh tomatoes, but I had some gorgonzola cheese in the fridge, so I used it to dress the gnocchi 🙂
The gnocchi are classic potato gnocchi and I made them by hand 😀
If you want to try making them too, here is my recipe: Potato Gnocchi
Usually, cream is used in this first course but I lightened it up by using milk.
I didn’t use oil or salt due to the presence of gorgonzola, which is already a flavorful cheese.
At lunch, I enjoyed this first course and if you want to try it too, here’s my version.
