Gnocchi with Taleggio and Walnuts, known in Italy as Gnocchi con Taleggio e Noci, is a rich and comforting dish inspired by Northern Italian cuisine. Soft potato gnocchi are gently tossed in a silky Taleggio sauce that melts into a creamy coating, while toasted walnuts add texture and a subtle nutty flavour. Finished with black pepper and a drizzle of olive oil, this authentic Italian recipe is simple yet indulgent, perfect for a cosy lunch or dinner.
Ingredients
500g fresh potato Gnocchi
150g Taleggio (shop here), cubed or sliced
50g Walnuts, roughly chopped
100ml Milk or a splash of pasta water
Black pepper
Olive Oil (shop here)
Directions
Bring a pot of salted water to the boil, ready to cook the gnocchi.
In a pan, gently melt the taleggio with a splash of milk or pasta water, stirring until smooth and creamy.
Cook the gnocchi – they’re ready when they float to the surface (just 2–3 minutes).
Toss the gnocchi into the cheese sauce, coating them well.
Serve immediately, topped with chopped walnuts, cracked black pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.
