Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for one minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi starts to lightly brown.
- Pour in the broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook until the liquid reduces slightly, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens slightly and coats the gnocchi.
- Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
- Stir in the chopped parsley just before serving.
Notes
- If you prefer a thinner sauce, add a splash more broth or cream at the end.
- You can add spinach or sun-dried tomatoes with the cream for extra vegetables.
- Use store-bought shelf-stable gnocchi for the quickest results.
