Gnocchi in Gorgonzola Sauce
This here happened because I like Gorgonzola sauce. My former sister in law posted that one once and told me how she made it (of course without exact measurements) lol. You can use also Pasta. Doesn't just work with Gnocchi. Make sure you buy good Gorgonzola Cheese. Not Blue cheese.
This is what you need:
- Pack of dry Gnocchi, cooking like Package says
- 1 cup Heavy Cream
- Half of the Gorgonzola Cheese
- Tiny bit of salt to taste
- Crumbled cooked Bacon
- Parsley for garnish
This is how you do it:
While the Gnocchi (or Pasta) is cooking, heat up the heavy cream. If you need more sauce, just double everything. Crumble in the cheese and cook and stir until Cheese has melted. Try and add salt as needed. If to thick, you can thin out with plain milk.
Cook the Bacon and crumble.
When Gnocchi are done, add the sauce and stir. Serve and crumble over the Bacon and Parsley to garnish. If you want to go real fancy, add a couple of Saffron to the sauce.

I am always looking for new chicken breast recipes. Because Chicken breast can get really dry, I like it with some creamy sauce. My husband loves mushrooms, so it was a no brainer to try this.
This is what you need:

- Box of cut mushrooms
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 2 TBS sour cream
- 50-100 ml heavy cream
- fresh Thyme and Parsley
- Salt and Pepper to taste
This is how you do it:
Salt and Pepper the chicken breast thirds and pan fry in Butter until browned. Remove from the pan.
Add some more Butter and bit oil and add now the Mushrooms to the pan. Cover for a min and cook until Mushrooms are wilted. Now add the Garlic and cook for 30 sec.. Add the Thyme and Parsley and stir well.
Now add the liquids. The Chicken broth, heavy cream and the sour cream and stir well. Let simmer until nice creamy consistency. Salt and Pepper to taste.
Add the chicken back to the sauce and cover and reheat.
Serve with your choice of side like Pasta, Rice or Mashed Potatoes.
