Equipment
- large pot
- colander
- wide skillet
- wooden spoon
- grater for freshly grated Parmesan
Ingredients
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp truffle oil
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface. Drain immediately and set aside.
- In a wide skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and cook for 2–3 minutes.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese and allow the sauce to thicken slightly, creating a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat. Drizzle with truffle oil, season with salt and black pepper, and remove from heat.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately while hot and creamy.
Notes
Taste before adding salt, as Parmesan adds natural saltiness. Serve immediately for the creamiest texture. Use a wide skillet to coat gnocchi evenly. Add truffle oil sparingly—just a drizzle enhances the flavor. Fresh herbs help balance the richness of the sauce.
