Instructions: Gnocchi with red chicory and blue cheese
Remove external leaves from red chicory and slice it into not too thick strips.
In a saucepan, over low heat, melt gorgonzola with milk. Mix well to create a creamy sauce, turn off the heat and set aside.
In a pan, sauté garlic with some oil. Add the chicory strips and stir fry for 30 seconds then add the gorgonzola sauce.
Cook on low heat until the sauce becomes more dense. Do not overcook (the chicory becomes bitter), remove the garlic and set the sauce aside.
Cook gnocchi in salted water according to instructions on the box. Drain and add to the sauce of gorgonzola and red chicory. Stir and serve hot.
