400 g gnocchi
200 g heavy cream (use at least 30% fat — don’t go lower)
150 g Gorgonzola Dolce (not Piccante — Dolce is creamier, milder, and slightly sweet. You can find it in almost any grocery store)

Spices
1/6 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
10 fresh basil leaves

Method:
00:00 - Intro

00:12 - Start by cutting the gorgonzola into small pieces. Smaller chunks melt faster and make your sauce silky and smooth. Make sure you’re using Gorgonzola Dolce — it’s mild, creamy, and a little sweet, perfect for this sauce.

Now, set a pot of water on the stove and bring it to a boil. Once it boils, add one teaspoon of salt — that’s for the gnocchi.

00:46 - Let’s move to the sauce. Grab a pan and set it to medium heat, about 6 out of 9. Pour in the heavy cream right away, without preheating the pan. If the pan gets too hot first, the cream can curdle — so add it cold.

Stir the cream and then add the nutmeg and black pepper. No need for salt — the gorgonzola already has plenty.

Now drop in the gorgonzola pieces. Keep stirring as they melt. You’ll see them slowly turn into a creamy, smooth sauce — this takes about 2 to 3 minutes.

When the cheese is almost melted, tear the basil leaves with your hands and add them in. Tearing is better than cutting — it keeps the basil’s fresh aroma.

01:45 - While your sauce is melting, the water should be boiling. Drop in the gnocchi. The moment they float to the top, scoop them right into the sauce — don’t wait, or they’ll turn mushy. Gently stir so each gnocchi gets coated.

Lower the heat to low, around 3 out of 9. Cover the pan with a lid and let everything simmer together for 1–2 minutes.

Take off the lid, stir again, and that’s it. Your gnocchi are coated in a rich, creamy gorgonzola sauce and ready to serve.

Creamy, cheesy, and ready in 6 minutes — that’s dinner done! Give it a try and tell me how yours turned out.
