I just love gnocchi with creamy blue cheese sauce, and this is my best recipe for it including delicious crisp asparagus and peas for a complete weeknight meal. You can switch blue cheese for gorgonzola or some other delicious cheese. You could of course do the gnocchi yourself but then it would not be a fast dinner on a weeknight, instead I use ready made gnocchi which cuts the time for this recipe to below 30 min! Just don’t forget the parmesan as I did in the picture 😉
