Ingredients
Gnocchi
- 1 pound 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. Gently add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, indicating they are fully cooked. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.
- Prepare the Creamy Sauce: 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 brown it. Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the sauce. Gently toss them together to ensure each piece is coated well with the creamy Parmesan sauce.
- Finish and Serve: Drizzle the truffle oil over the gnocchi and season the dish with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- For an extra touch of luxury, you can add sautéed mushrooms or a sprinkle of extra Parmesan on top.
- Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi as they can become mushy; cooking until they float is the best indicator.
- Use fresh Parmesan for better flavor and smoother melting in the sauce.
- Truffle oil is potent, so add it gradually to avoid overpowering the dish.
