Large Egg  
/2 Cup; plus 2 tablespoons flour  
Cup Milk  
Cup Water  
Teaspoon Olive oil  
Cup Heavy cream  
Pound Gorgonzola cheese  
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.  
Season the potatoes with the oil, salt and pepper. Place on a baking sheet  
and bake until tender, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven and cool  
completely. Peel the potatoes, discarding the skin, and place in a bowl.  
With a hand potato masher, mash the potatoes until smooth. Season with salt  
and pepper. Add the egg and 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of the flour.  
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup flour on a baking sheet, lined with parchment  
paper. Turn the dough onto the floured surface and roll into a log, about

tines of a fork.  
In a large saucepan, combine the milk, water, 1 teaspoon olive oil, salt and  
pepper. Bring the liquid just to a boil. Add the gnocchi and poach for 5  
minutes. Remove the gnocchi with a slotted spoon and drain. Place the cream  
in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer. Whisk in the cheese and  
season with salt and pepper. Toss the gnocchi with the cream sauce. Spoon  
onto a large serving platter. Garnish with black pepper.
