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

  1. Cook the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Once done, drain the gnocchi and set aside.
  2. Sauté Garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden but not browned to avoid bitterness.
  3. Prepare the Cream Sauce: Slowly pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture 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 evenly with the creamy parmesan sauce. Drizzle with the truffle oil and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper according to your taste preferences.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the gnocchi to serving plates and garnish generously with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh or store-bought potato gnocchi cooked just until they float for perfect texture.
  • Adjust the amount of truffle oil based on your preference; a little goes a long way due to its strong aroma.
  • You can substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor.
  • If you want to lighten the dish, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Serve immediately after cooking as gnocchi tends to harden if left sitting too long.
