Ingredients

1 package potato gnocchi (I use Trader Joe's)

8 ounces gorgonzola cheese crumbled

1 6 ounce container plain non-fat greek yogurt

5 ounces white wine (I used Charles Shaw pinot grigio)

2 cloves garlic minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 ounces parmesan cheese grated

1 tablespoon fresh thyme chopped or 1 teaspoon dried

2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped

salt and pepper to taste


Directions

Prepare the ingredients for the gorgonzola sauce, then boil water and cook gnocchi as directed, while making the sauce. Sauce: Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet on low heat. Saute the garlic until fragrant. Add white wine and heat at medium temperature. As wine heats, slowly mix in greek yogurt, gorgonzola, and parmesan cheese, allowing cheeses time to melt. If consistency is too thick add white wine to thin it out or more cheese to thicken it. When sauce seems to be at the right consistency add the parsley, thyme, salt and pepper. Serve over gnocchi. Spinach, mushrooms, and asparagus are great additions to this dish either mixed into the sauce or served on top of the gnocchi.
