Creamy Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi Simple and Tasty Dish

What makes creamy garlic parmesan gnocchi special? It blends soft gnocchi with a rich sauce. The sauce is made with butter, garlic, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. This dish is quick and easy. You can make it in just 20 minutes!

How do you cook gnocchi? Start by boiling water in a pot. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float. This shows they are done. Drain them and set them aside.

Next, grab a large skillet and melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add minced garlic. Sauté it for one to two minutes. You want it fragrant, but not brown.

Then, pour in the heavy cream. Stir it and let it simmer gently. This helps the cream thicken and mix well with the garlic. Now, slowly add the grated parmesan cheese. Stir until it melts and the sauce becomes creamy.

What about seasoning? Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if you like heat. Then, use salt and black pepper to taste.

Now it’s time to add the gnocchi. Toss them gently in the sauce. Let them simmer for two to three minutes. This step allows the gnocchi to soak in the flavors.

Finally, serve your creamy garlic parmesan gnocchi warm. Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch. This dish is perfect for a quick dinner or when you want to impress guests!
