Ingredients and method

The preparation remains in its original order; guided mode is not available for this structure.

INGREDIENTS FOR 4 PEOPLE
1 kg blue potatoes (typical of Trentino's Giudicarie)
200 g '00' flour (plus extra for working)
1 egg
Salt
SAUCE
200 ml cooking cream
30 g butter
2 tablespoons Parmigiano
100 g Gorgonzola
60 g roughly chopped walnuts
Half a glass milk
Pepper
Boil potatoes conventionally, or microwave when short of time; the gnocchi work perfectly and it saves time.
I peel the potatoes.

I wash, cut into fairly large pieces, put in a bowl, cover with water and seal with cling film.
2015/01/img_2759.jpg
I microwave at full power for about 20 minutes, check and cook longer if needed, then drain.
2015/01/img_2760.jpg
I flour the worktop, rice hot potatoes and let cool slightly.
2015/01/img_2761.jpg
I lightly beat the egg with a generous pinch of salt in a bowl.
2015/01/img_2762.jpg
I add egg to potatoes and gradually incorporate flour. The amount depends on the potatoes; do not make the gnocchi hard.
2015/01/img_2763.jpg
I work quickly into a ball.
2015/01/img_2764.jpg
I cut small pieces, form floured ropes and cut as for ordinary gnocchi.
2015/01/img_2766.jpg
If desired, roll over a fork or gnocchi board.
2015/01/img_2767.jpg
I put them on a lightly floured, parchment-lined tray.
2015/01/img_2768.jpg
SAUCE
I put cream, butter and Gorgonzola pieces in a large frying pan.
2015/01/img_2770.jpg
I add milk and melt gently.
2015/01/img_2771.jpg
I add chopped walnuts.
2015/01/img_2772.jpg
Ground pepper.
2015/01/img_2773.jpg
I add Parmigiano and simmer a couple of minutes.
Keep fairly liquid, as the gnocchi absorb a lot.
2015/01/img_2774.jpg
I boil salted water in a large pan, gently add all the gnocchi and wait a few minutes until they float.
2015/01/img_2776.jpg
I drain them gradually into the hot sauce.
2015/01/img_2777.jpg
I mix gently to absorb flavours and serve.
2015/01/img_2778.jpg
Add a little Parmigiano and more walnut pieces if liked.
