Stinky Cheesy Gnocchi

I made this for a few friends a while ago and one of them has been asking for the recipe. I though I'd just share this all with you lovely people.


Stinky Cheesy Gnocchi: What you will need.

Milk
plain flour
Butter or marge
Block stinky cheese (Gorgonzola or something similar).
Fresh Gnocchi.
Bit of mozzarella for the topping.


Chop the stinky cheese into small cubes and put to one side.
Boil a full kettle.
Melt about a table spoon of butter/marge over a low heat in a non stick saucepan.
Add about a tablespoon of flour, increase the heat and stir it around with a wooden spoon.
A lot.
The flour/butter mixture will turn into a paste which you need to keep on stirring around the base of the pan.
What you're doing is cooking the flour so when it turns a lovely golden colour its ready.
Turn down the heat to about a half full.
Add a splash of milk to the pan, just a splash. This is VERY IMPORTANT.
Stir it until its absorbed by the paste.
Add a splash more milk and continue. If you add a big dollop all at once its lumpy sauce for you my friend! Keep going and the paste will turn into a nice thick sauce and you can add as much milk as you want to then.
Then add the cubed cheese and keep stirring.
Boil up the gnocchi using the packet instructions, drain and mix with the cheese sauce.
Place the whole lot in an oven proof dish top with mozzarella and bake for about 15 mins until the cheese topping is nice and golden.

Dead simple I know but really rather tasty.
