Steps to Prepare Gnocchi with Cheese and Cream:

Gnocchi with Cream and Cheese


  1. Cook the Potatoes:

    • Place the potatoes in a pot of water with a tablespoon of salt. Boil until tender. Once cooked, peel and mash the potatoes.

  2. Prepare the Dough:

    • Add ¾ of the flour to the mashed potatoes, followed by nutmeg, the whole egg, egg yolk, black pepper, and gray salt.
    • Knead the mixture by hand until it forms a smooth, cohesive dough.

  3. Shape the Gnocchi:

    • Divide the dough into four portions. Roll each portion into long strips, then cut into equal-sized pieces.
    • Use a fork to press each piece gently, creating the classic gnocchi ridges.

  4. Boil the Gnocchi:

    • In a pot of boiling water, cook the gnocchi for 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  5. Prepare the Cheese Sauce:

    • In a pan over medium heat, melt butter with the cream. Once boiling, reduce the heat and add all the cheeses (Gorgonzola, Fontina, Asiago, and Parmesan).
    • Stir until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.

  6. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce:

    • Add the gnocchi to the cheese sauce and cook on low heat, allowing the gnocchi to absorb the flavors.

  7. Serve:

    • Transfer the gnocchi to a deep serving dish. Garnish with black pepper and more grated Parmesan on top.

Now your Gnocchi with Cream and Cheese is ready to serve. Enjoy this flavorful dish! Bon appétit!
