AWESOME sauce for gnocchi! I used a little less gorgonzola and a little more parmesan because that's what I was in the mood for and it was delicious! -
I was so leery of this recipe but my husband is on a low carb diet and I was making a tenderloin for Thanksgiving along with Turkey and decided to try this for him. It turned out to be the star of my whole Thanksgiving meal and everyone ate more beef than turkey because of the sauce. My husband even poured it over his turkey and ate it up! I followed the recipe exactly and definitely had some close call with boil over but every minute spent on this was worth it. Half my family would never even eat this type of cheese but they were crazy for the sauce! Going in the recipe box!! -
Wow, fabulous, so rich and creamy, absolute perfection! I made it exactly as directed, and served it with tomato-flavoured gnocchi. Gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce, heaven on a plate :) I had a small head of broccoli, so chopped it up, cooked it with the gnocchi, and combined everything with the sauce. This was a marvellously decadent supper, a real make again when I want something sinfully rich! Made in loving memory of Annelies and her marvellous recipes.

This is sooo good! I made it to use over whole wheat pasta, with great results. The whole family enjoyed it! -
Exquisite!! Put it over home made pumpkin ravioli. Tripled the recipe for a crowd. Used fresh grated Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan and added some freshly grated nutmeg-it was divine. Kept sauce on warm in small crock pot and held perfectly. For reheats, make sure it's low and slow with rapid whisking to incorporate as it warms. Will definitely separate if reheated too quickly and not whisked. I assure you will not be disappointed. This is incredible--every guest was speechless.

Hello, my name is Bonnie and I am a very beautiful cat as you can see if you look at the picture at the top of this page.... What??.. I am supposed to talk about you??? But it says here: About Me!! Well all right then ......
My mom is Dutch and has moved to England in October 2007, after living 15 years in the Netherlands with my English dad. They don’t have any human children and “created” their own family, which means I have to share them with Hannah, she is a 6 years old tortie cat, Abby the dog, she is a 9 year old Beagle, and a one year old black Miniature Pincher named Poppy, I refuse to tell you my age but I am a georgious lilac British Shorthair cat!!
It is obvious she adores pets just by looking at her name she uses on Zaar (many on Zaar call her Pets or Petsie Poo), her name in real life is Annelies and that is a common Dutch name.
My mom always liked to cook, but since she joined Zaar it got out of control, and it doesn’t help that she is disorganized. Printed recipes everywhere in the house, the recipe binders have got bigger and just between you and me, her hips too!!!
I have lived in Holland all of my life until now, but they lived in several different countries/places:- desert and coastal Oman, up North and West in Holland, Vancouver-Canada, Aberdeen- Scotland and in Norway they lived in Bergen and Oslo. We have all moved together to England, as you can see I’ve already learnt the language!
I heard her say to Dad that this is the last time she moved to another country...she's had it with moving from one place to another! ( its her age...she's getting grumpy)
Mom is 55 years old but I always hear her say that the date of her birthday does not mean that much to her, the date of her cancer anniversary is more important, because so far she is a survivor.
Besides cooking she has other interests too, crafts, gardening and soap making.
She likes Zaar and is one of the hosts on the German-Benelux Forum here on RecipeZaar.
She would like to thank everybody who tries and comments on the recipes she has posted on Recipezaar, your feedback is very much appreciated.
