Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  2. Cook the Gnocchi: Add the gnocchi and cook according to package instructions.
  3. Drain and Set Aside: Once cooked, drain the gnocchi and set them aside.
  4. Sauté the Garlic: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
  6. Cheesy Goodness: Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, stirring until it melts into the sauce.
  7. Season It Up: Taste your sauce and add salt and pepper as needed.
  8. Combine: Gently fold the cooked gnocchi into the sauce until evenly coated.

Notes

For extra creaminess, consider using half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You can add sautéed chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
