Recipe using Gnocchi?

[piratesmate]

Does anyone have a recipe using Gnocchi? I've never really cared for them, but DD used to love these when she was little. She kind of outgrew her taste for them, though.

DH must have forgotten about it because he brought some home from the store last week "because they were on sale."

Anyway, I don't want to serve them just plain with sauce & Parmesan. Any ideas??

I like them mixed with some roasted squash and a brown butter/sage sauce. Nice and autumn-y.

Thanks! I hadn't thought of that!

Anyone else?

I just got back from Rome and there I had them in butter with shaved Parmesan on top- It was incredibe. Growing up we ate Gnocchi baked in a dish w/ tomato sauce and mozzerella. Hope this helps!

One of my favorites is Potato Gnocchi w/ Gorgonzola Sauce. Had it in Rome and I've been making it since.

Gnocchi w/ Gorgonzola

sauce:

2 tlb. butter
2 tlb. flour
1 cup milk
1/2 pound Gorgonzola, crumbled

Melt butter in saucepan, add flour. Cook, but do not brown. Add milk and whisk until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring until sauce thickens. Add the Gorgonzola cheese, remove from heat and stir until incorporated. Sauce should be a bit lumpy. Toss the cooked gnocchi with the sauce and serve.

While boiling the gnocchi, melt butter in large frying pan with chopped onion. After draining, brown the gnocchi in the butter and onion. Add salt to taste.

I love gnocchi as does my DS. We just make it with Olivieri Four Cheese sauce or if I want to try to be a bit better calorie wise I use the Rose sauce instead! I have also tried it with the Gorgonzola recipe as well, but I find the cheese a wee bit strong for DS. Easy quick, filling dinner!
