Ingredients

Main 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

  1. Cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté garlic: In a large skillet set over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, taking care not to brown it.
  3. Prepare the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Toss gnocchi in sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly with the creamy Parmesan sauce. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your liking.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the gnocchi for a burst of freshness and color. Serve immediately while warm and creamy for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh gnocchi for frozen if fresh is unavailable; just adjust cooking time accordingly.
  • Truffle oil is optional but highly recommended for its luxurious aroma and flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Make sure not to overcook gnocchi; they are done once they float to the surface of boiling water.
  • Parmesan cheese adds umami richness but feel free to use Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
