Gnocchi can be made with red sauce, pesto, or white sauce. In this recipe we use a quick and easy white cheese sauce which will make the gnocchi melt in your mouth.
Ingredients
- 1/2 lb of fontina cheese, grated
- 1/2 cup of cream
- 5 1/2 tablespoons of butter
- 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 lb of gnocchi dumplings (homemade or store bought)
- fresh sage leaves for garnish
Cooking Instructions
Place a bowl which just fits in a medium size saucepan. Pour water into the saucepan and bring the water to a boil.
Combine the fontina cheese, cream, butter and parmesan into a bowl which is in the pan of simmering water.
Heat all the ingredients in the bowl, stirring occasionally. Continue to cook the mixture until the creamy cheese is melted and the sauce is nice and smooth.
Meanwhile, with a different saucepan you can cook the gnocchi. Bring salted water to a boil and add the gnocchi.
When gnocchi sauce is near completion and the gnocchi is al dente, drain cooked gnocchi well and coat the pasta with the sauce. Also add some vegetable oil.
Garnish the gnocchi with sage leaves and serve immediately while still warm.
