If to the word gnocchi associated immediately gorgonzola, it means that you also know the meaning of pure enjoyment. That pleasure that only a nice plate of homemade gnocchi can give and if prepared in the company the fun is divided into two. A good team splits the tasks and optimizes the times, that's how the roles are split between me and my mom on the marble kitchen counter. She dedicates herself to the dough, preparing it now by eye, recognizing the right amount of flour to simply add to the touch, without precise doses or weighed in milligrams. I dedicate myself to another important task, scratch the dumplings and keep them well apart so that they do not stick together during cooking. Then we put both in the gorgonzola sauce, a little for the throat that drives us to repeatedly taste the sauce to see if it is correct and a bit because we both want to give ourselves a bit of feeling.
