Ingredients

• 500 grams Potato gnocchi
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 pieces Garlic cloves, minced
• 250 milliliters Heavy cream
• 60 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat.

Step 2

While the water is heating, melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and let simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 5

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 6

Add the gnocchi to the boiling water and cook according to the package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked gnocchi directly to the cream sauce, tossing to coat them evenly.

Step 8

Allow the gnocchi to simmer in the sauce for 1-2 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Step 9

Finish with a drizzle of olive oil and garnish with fresh parsley.

Step 10

Serve immediately, hot from the pan, with additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
