Ingredients
- Salt and black pepper
- 375 g fresh gnocchi
- 800 g pork tenderloin, trimmed, cut into 4 medallions
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 20 g butter
- 150 ml dry white wine
- 180 ml cream
- 150 g gorgonzola cheese, crumbled
- 2 tbsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
- Finely grated Parmesan cheese (optional), to serve
Instructions
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil for the gnocchi. Cook the gnocchi according to the package directions, then drain.
- While the water is coming to the boil, on a clean working surface, press the pork medallions with the palm of your hand until they flatten slightly. Season on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large frying pan over high heat. Once the butter is melted, add half the pork and sear for 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked pork to a plate, cover and keep warm, then repeat with the remaining pork.
- Once the pork has all been removed from the pan, increase the heat to high. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, stirring to scrape up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Once the wine has almost evaporated, reduce the heat to medium-low and stir through the cream and crumbled gorgonzola. Simmer for 2 minutes, or until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Add the drained gnocchi to the pan, adding an extra splash of water if you prefer a thinner sauce.
- Slice the pork. Divide the creamy gnocchi between plates and top with the pork, then sprinkle with the parsley and a little Parmesan cheese, if you like.
