Blue Cheese Gnocchi Recipes

HOMEMADE GNOCCHI WITH BLUE CHEESE SAUCE

Steps:

• Bake at 375°F 500g of potatoes for 1h. Poke some holes on the skin with a fork before baking.
• Remove the skin while hot. Let the potatoes cool down before placing them in the fridge for about 2h or until completely cold
• Shred the potatoes using a ricer or a cheese grater. Pour 1 egg yolk and a pinch of salt on the potatoes. Sift 100g of all-purpose flour on top.
• Gather everything together with your hands and start kneading the dough, if too sticky, add some more flour. Knead the dough for 1m30.
• Roll the dough into a fat log and slice into 4 parts. Roll each parts into a thin rope (1 inch thick) cut the rope into small bits. Roll with the palm of your hands each bits to form small gnocchi balls
• Cook the gnocchi in salted boiling water. After a minute or two, they will rise on the surface. Let them cook 30s more and turn off the heat. Drain the gnocchi with a colander.
• Cut 200g of white mushroom and cook with olive oil and ground black pepper.
• Add 250ml of double cream and let simmer until it thickens, stirring from time to time.
• Add 140g of st Agur cheese and let it melt completely.
• Pour the gnocchi in the sauce, serve hot with freshly cut parsley and ground black pepper. Enjoy!

BLUE CHEESE GNOCCHI

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 15 to 20 minutes until tender.
• Stir through a generous amount of salt.
• Drain the potatoes well, then mash until completely smooth (a potato ricer is good for this).
• Transfer to a bowl.
• Sprinkle the flour into the bowl with one hand while kneading it into the potato mixture with the other hand, continuing to knead until all the flour is worked in and the dough is smooth.
• This should take a few minutes and the dough will be sticky at first!
• Divide the dough into three and roll each portion into a sausage that is 3/4 of an inch thick.
• Cut into 1 inch lengths and using floured hands, press each gnocchi against a fork to flatten it and indent one side (the indentation helps the sauce to stick to the cooked gnocchi).
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, and when rapidly boiling, drop in the bnocchi, then reduce the heat and simmer until the snocchi rise to the surface (this will take 2 to 3 minutes).
• Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and drain well.
• Arrange on a warm serving dish and keep warm.
• Put the cream into a small pan and bring to the boil, boil rapidly, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes, until the sauce has reduced by one third.
• Remove from heat and stir in the cheese.
• Season with salt and pepper to taste and pour over the warm gnocchi.
• Scatter the chives over the top and serve immediately.
