SUGO AL GORGONZOLA (GORGONZOLA CHEESE SAUCE)
This sauce pairs perfectly with gnocchi and is fairly easy to make - much easier than making gnocchi that is for sure! Gorgonzola is a pungent cheese, and therefore can lead to a strong flavor in your sauce. Remember that the more green, the stronger the flavor. The less green, the more sweet the flavor. Gorgonzola is better to buy in a wedge so you can see the amount of green in the package you’re buying and decide if you want it stronger or milder.

Time: Approx. 15-20 min.

Ingredients
200 g. of Gorgonzola cheese
6 Tbsp (80 g.) of butter
Black pepper
Cream or milk (about 100 g)
Pinch of grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
1. On low to medium heat melt a little of the Gorgonzola cheese in a small sauce pan.
2. Add some of the butter to the cheese, stirring frequently.
3. Repeat this process of alternating the cheese and the butter. If you add it all together, they may separate and won’t be the right mixture for the sauce.
4. After mostly melted, stir in pepper, cream/milk, and the Parmesan cheese.
5. Pour over the gnocchi and serve.

That’s it! And it tastes delicious!
