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
- 1 tablespoon truffle oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
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, usually 2–3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi well and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce base: 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.
- Make the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking while stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
- Toss gnocchi with sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Gently toss to coat all the gnocchi evenly. Drizzle the truffle oil over the gnocchi and season with salt and black pepper to your liking.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the gnocchi for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the luxurious flavors.
Notes
- Be sure not to overcook the gnocchi; they are done when they float to the surface.
- Adjust the truffle oil amount according to your taste preference as it has a strong aroma.
- For a vegetarian option, ensure the Parmesan cheese is vegetarian-friendly.
- This dish is best served fresh as the sauce thickens and firms up upon standing.
