Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float, then 1 minute more.

  2. Step 2

    Reserve 0.5 cup pasta water, then drain gnocchi into a colander.

  3. Step 3

    In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

  4. Step 4

    Add gorgonzola to the skillet, stirring constantly until melted and smooth, about 2 minutes.

  5. Step 5

    Add cooked gnocchi and 0.25 cup pasta water to the sauce. Toss gently until coated, adding more water if needed.

  6. Step 6

    Plate immediately. Top with sage, walnuts, cracked black pepper, and a pinch of salt.
