- Peel potatoes and boil for 20 minutes until soft then drain and peel. While still warm pass through a potato ricer. Add the flour and knead the whole mixture well into a smooth dough.
- Sprinkle work surface with flour. Roll part of the dough into a 2cm wide sausage. Cut the sausage into 2 cm long pieces.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil and add the gnocchi to the boiling water in batches. When the gnocchi floats to the surface wait 1-2 minutes and then pick them out with a slotted spoon. Bring water to the boil again and cook the next portion.
- Melt the gorgonzola and butter together in a saucepan over a low heat. Pour in the cream and cook for about 3-4 minutes until the cream is thick. Season with salt pepper.
- To serve place the gnocchi in a bowl then cover with the sauce. Sprinkle with some parmesan and serve immediately.

I have never made fresh Gnocchi before and am a beginner cook but this recipe was easy to follow. The Gnocchi turned out a little soggy but actually tasted very nice and the sauce was very rich so lovely as a small portion for a starter. - 28 Sep 2010 (Review from Allrecipes UK & Ireland)
