Gnocchi with Gorgonzola Cream Sauce

This dreamy Gorgonzola sauce uses just a few high-quality ingredients but uses them very well. The cheese, cream, and butter come together in a smoothly textured sauce perfect for gnocchi.

The Gorgonzola even has a subtle sweetness and notes of spice, such as anise, that come out as the sauce simmers. These flavors also blend very well with the added fresh nutmeg.

This would impress a crowd–especially those who love blue cheeses. I served this with sautéed fresh green beans with lemon juice, which added a nice fresh/acidic balance to the creamy pasta.
