Gnocchi al Castelmagno

Gnocchi al Castelmagno is a traditional dish and a specialty of Cuneo. It's made with potato gnocchi, butter, milk or cream, and Castelmagno – a local DOP cheese. The gnocchi are cooked and mixed with the sauce consisting of butter, diced Castelmagno cheese, and cream. The dish is often sprinkled with pepper on top before it's served piping hot. If desired, you can replace half the amount of regular wheat flour with chestnut flour, and the result is a perfect autumnal dish – chestnut gnocchi with Castelmagno.
