Preparation Steps
1
Boil the potatoes in their skins in salted water for about 20 minutes, or until they are completely tender.
2
Peel the potatoes while still warm, then mash them with a potato ricer or fork in a bowl.
3
Let the mashed potatoes cool slightly, then add the egg, salt, and flour. Knead until you have a soft, non-sticky dough.
4
Divide the dough into several portions and roll them into logs. Cut into approximately 2 cm pieces with a sharp knife.
5
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the gnocchi in small batches until they float to the surface (about 2 minutes), then drain them.
6
Melt the butter in a skillet, then sauté the diced pear until slightly caramelized.
7
Pour in the heavy cream, then stir in the crumbled Gorgonzola cheese and let the cheese melt completely.
8
Add a little honey, then gently toss the cooked gnocchi in the pear and Gorgonzola sauce to coat each piece.
9
Sprinkle with roughly chopped walnuts and freshly ground black pepper for the perfect flavor.
10
Serve immediately, drizzled with a little extra Gorgonzola and honey!
