Garnished with fresh parsley, this elegant recipe is perfect for an indulgent weeknight dinner or special occasion meal.

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 potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions until they float to the surface, which indicates they are done. Drain the gnocchi and set them aside.
  2. Sauté garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Make the creamy sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
  4. Toss gnocchi in sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the creamy sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi evenly in the sauce. Drizzle the truffle oil over the top, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the gnocchi for a burst of color and fresh herb flavor. Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this decadent dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute truffle oil with a small amount of truffle butter or omit it for a milder flavor.
  • For a lighter version, use half-and-half or reduce the amount of heavy cream.
  • Gnocchi are best served fresh, but store-bought ones work well for convenience.
  • If the sauce becomes too thick, thin it with a splash of pasta water or milk.
  • To make this dish vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan cheese is free of animal rennet or use a vegetarian hard cheese alternative.
