Method
How to Make Creamy Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi
- Fill a large pot with salted water and bring it to a rolling boil.
- Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water. Cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface (about 2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside to keep warm.
- In a large skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1–2 minutes until it's fragrant.
- Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally for about 2–3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it's melted and smooth. Taste and season the sauce with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
- Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss them to coat in the creamy sauce.
- Remove the skillet from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- Serve immediately while it’s warm and bubbling.
