Gorgonzola Chive Butter

My sister, Caroline, loves gorgonzola. For her birthday, I made her a simple gnocchi alla gorgonzola. When it came time to plate the gnocchi, I realized I had no garnish. I quickly rummaged through the fridge searching for any kind of herb I could use as a garnish. Luckily, I found a handful of chives. Sauce was poured, parmesan was shaved and chives were chopped. The dish was a smashing success and the unexpected inspiration for this cheesy-buttery goodness. What would you pair with Gorgonzola Chive Butter?
