Ingredients

Scale

Gnocchi

  • 500g fresh or high-quality store-bought potato gnocchi

Creamy Sauce

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon fresh herbs (such as thyme or basil), chopped
  • Salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook until the gnocchi float to the surface, usually 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate and set aside.
  2. Make the Creamy Sauce: In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Slowly pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously to combine smoothly.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Once the cream simmers gently, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese. Continue stirring until the cheese melts fully and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt, freshly ground black pepper, and your chosen fresh herbs.
  4. Combine Gnocchi and Sauce: Carefully add the cooked gnocchi to the sauce pan. Gently toss to coat every piece evenly with the rich, creamy sauce. Heat for an additional minute to marry flavors and warm through.
  5. Serve Immediately: Transfer the Millionaire Gnocchi with Creamy Sauce to serving plates. Garnish with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs as desired for an elegant finish.

Notes

  • Don’t overcook the gnocchi; remove as soon as they float to keep a pillowy texture.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the richest flavor.
  • Cook the sauce on medium to low heat to prevent cream curdling.
  • Add fresh herbs near the end of cooking to keep their bright aroma.
  • Toss gnocchi gently to avoid breaking them in the sauce.
