Name: Gorgonzola Cream Sauce
Total time: 10 min
Ingredients: 3/4 cup heavy cream; 1/4 cup dry white wine; 4 ounces Gorgonzola cheese, crumbled (1 cup); 2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced

Why This Recipe Works

For a full-bodied, complex sauce to accompany our gnocchi recipe, we found that a topping made with full-flavored gorgonzola fit the bill perfectly--and took just minutes to make. Simmering cream and wine gave our Gorgonzola Cream Sauce recipe a velvety, rich base, and whisking in the gorgonzola thickened the sauce until it was the perfect accompaniment for our gnocchi recipe.

Before You Begin

Adjust the consistency of the sauce with up to 2 tablespoons of gnocchi cooking water before adding the dumplings.

Instructions

Bring cream and wine to simmer in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Whisking constantly, gradually add Gorgonzola, and cook until melted and sauce is thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in chives and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover to keep warm.
