Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams potato gnocchi
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 50 grams Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
While the water is heating, finely mince the garlic cloves and chop the parsley. Grate the Parmesan cheese if not pre-grated.
Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the gnocchi float to the surface. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the gnocchi to a plate. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the cooking water.
In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Allow it to bubble and turn a light golden brown, about 2-3 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Reduce the heat slightly and add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet. Toss them gently to coat in the garlic butter sauce. If the sauce appears too thick, add a splash of the reserved cooking water to loosen it.
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy.
Sprinkle the chopped parsley over the gnocchi and toss to combine. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
