For an even more intense Gorgonzola flavor, use Gorgonzola Piccante. If you don't have gnocchi on hand, this sauce is also excellent with penne, rigatoni, or fettuccine. Toasted walnuts or pecans make a delightful crunchy topping. Adjust the amount of radicchio to your liking, depending on how much bitterness you prefer. Don't overcook the gnocchi. They should be tender but still hold their shape.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
4 mins
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Gently add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, approximately 2-4 minutes. Drain immediately and set aside, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water. (2-4 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
While the gnocchi cooks, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped radicchio and sauté until softened and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove the radicchio from the skillet and set aside. (5 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
Pour the heavy cream into the same skillet and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, about 5 minutes. Add the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and whisk continuously until the cheese is fully melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Season the sauce with freshly grated nutmeg, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (7 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Return the sautéed radicchio to the skillet with the Gorgonzola cream sauce. Stir to combine. Add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce and toss gently to coat evenly. If the sauce is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of the reserved pasta water until it reaches your desired consistency.
05
StepServe immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
