2 hr

And today for lunch we have purple gnocchi with gorgonzola sauce. I went to Union Square market this weekend and I saw a beautiful stand of potatoes. I bought a few varieties, one of them was these little purple potatoes which I immediately decided to make gnocchi with. However, you can definitely make them with yellow potatoes! It will taste almost the same. The sauce here is made with Italian Gorgonzola D.O.P and chopped walnuts. It is a very easy quick sauce that wonderfully complements the purple gnocchi. Bon Apetito Ragazzi!
