Introduction

Millionaire Gnocchi with Creamy Sauce is a luxurious twist on a classic Italian favorite. Soft potato gnocchi are coated in a rich, Parmesan-infused cream sauce and finished with aromatic truffle oil for an indulgent meal that’s easy to prepare.

The image shows a close-up of a bowl of golden-brown gnocchi with each piece crispy on the outside, coated in a creamy white sauce mixed with finely chopped green herbs. The gnocchi are piled high in a simple white bowl, with the sauce pooling slightly at the bottom. On top, a small bunch of fresh green rosemary adds a touch of color and freshness. The bowl is set against a white marbled background that contrasts with the rich textures of the dish, making it look warm and inviting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

500 g potato gnocchi
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon truffle oil
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 3: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook until the sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
Step 4: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat in the creamy sauce. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 5: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding sautéed mushrooms or crispy pancetta to the sauce.
Use fresh gnocchi if available for a tender texture.
Substitute truffle oil with a drizzle of olive oil if you prefer a milder taste.

Storage

Store leftover gnocchi in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat with a splash of cream or water to loosen the sauce and prevent sticking.

FAQs

Can I make this dish vegan?

You can substitute butter with plant-based margarine, use coconut or almond cream instead of heavy cream, and replace Parmesan with a vegan cheese alternative to make a vegan version.

What type of truffle oil works best?

White truffle oil offers a delicate aroma and flavor, while black truffle oil provides a stronger, earthier taste. Choose based on your preference to complement the creamy sauce.
