Ingredients
Scale
Gnocchi
- 500 g potato gnocchi
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Finishing Touches
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.
- Sauté garlic. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Prepare the creamy sauce. Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic and butter, then bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss gnocchi in sauce. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat them fully with the creamy Parmesan sauce. Drizzle with the truffle oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Garnish and serve. Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the gnocchi and serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen gnocchi; cooking times may vary slightly.
- Be careful with the truffle oil as its flavor is strong; add incrementally to suit your preference.
- For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half or milk for heavy cream, but sauce will be less rich and thick.
- If desired, add sautéed mushrooms for extra depth of flavor.
- This dish is best served immediately as gnocchi can become sticky if left to sit.
