Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups potato gnocchi
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Step 1: Boil the Gnocchi – Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, add the gnocchi. Cook them until they float to the surface, typically about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them and set aside.
- Step 2: Sauté the Garlic – In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant and just starting to turn golden.
- Step 3: Create the Creamy Sauce – Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic. Stir well and bring to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Step 4: Combine Gnocchi and Sauce – Add the cooked gnocchi to the creamy sauce. Gently toss to coat each piece of gnocchi with the sauce, ensuring they are all evenly covered and warm.
- Step 5: Garnish and Serve – Remove the skillet from the heat. Transfer the gnocchi to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh basil leaves. Serve immediately while hot.
