Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 500 g potato gnocchi
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter The real hero of the dish
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Use more if you're feeling wild
  • 1 cup heavy cream Don't skimp on this; it's where the magic happens
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Fresh is best, but pre-grated works too
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Use to garnish the dish
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil Adds a fancy touch
  • Salt and black pepper to taste Sea salt is preferred for flavor

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  2. Cook the gnocchi according to the package instructions until they float. Drain and set aside.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer without boiling.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it cook for about 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and toss to coat.
  6. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash of pasta water. For a budget-friendly alternative, olive oil can substitute for truffle oil.
