Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Lightly brush a rimmed baking sheet with oil; set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add the salt. Add half the gnocchi; when they rise to the top (after about 2 minutes), continue to cook until tender, about 15 seconds more. Transfer the gnocchi with a slotted spoon to the oiled baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining gnocchi.
Step 2
Bring the cream and stock to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat, and let the mixture simmer until slightly thickened and reduced by one-third, about 10 minutes. Add the cheese; stir until melted. Stir in the nutmeg and cayenne. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from heat; cover to keep warm.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the mushrooms, and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and any released liquid has evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add the gnocchi; cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Pour the Gorgonzola sauce over the gnocchi; gently toss.
