[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 184245, member: 1991"] Try making it yourself and compare the taste. If the shop you buy it from tastes as good, then enjoy! I've found it's rare to find a commercial product that tastes as good as this, and it usually costs a lot more, too. Gnocchi is difficult to make by machine. I think that's why commercial stuff is expensive. How do they do the gorgonzola at Trader Joe's? Is it a supermarket, or a restaurant? It would seem to be that grated gorgonzola in either a bechamel sauce or (even better) grated gorgonzola stirred through a tub of creme fraiche and then stirred through the cooked gnocchi before baking under the grill to brown it - would be fabulous. The main cost would be the tub of creme fraiche, a couple of eggs and the gorgonzola. The flour and mashed potato should be minimal cost. So maybe enough to serve four people - A$6. For the luxury version. Personally, I'd probably add some blue cheese as well with perhaps a grating of fresh parmesan. It's the sort of thing you can customise and have fun with. Accompany it with a fresh green salad so you don't feel too guilty about all those carbs and the fat in the cheese. I'd never be able to feed that mix to difficult child 3 - he hates anything with a creamy texture, won't even eat soft-cooked eggs. They must be firm. No wonder he's so skinny! Marg [/QUOTE]
