Consider adding garlic, onions, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra depth and complexity
Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
For those craving indulgence, a creamy gorgonzola sauce is a luxurious choice.
The tangy and creamy nature of gorgonzola cheese coats each gnocchi, which, indeed, is
creating a decadent dish.
Enhance the sauce with a splash of white wine, nutmeg, and a sprinkle of freshly
grated Parmesan cheese for added richness.
For a creamier variation of carbonara sauce add a splash of heavy cream to the egg and cheese mixture.
The addition of cream enhances the richness of the dressing, creating a velvety texture that clings to each dumpling.
Be sure not to overcook the sauce to prevent curdling and, of course, adjust the amount of cream according to your preference for richness.
