- 1 (16 ounce) package potato gnocchi
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth 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
- Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
- Add the uncooked gnocchi and the broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
- Stir in the fresh parsley just before serving.
Notes
- You can add a handful of fresh spinach during the last minute of cooking for added greens.
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream, but you may need to simmer slightly longer to thicken.
- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash more broth or cream to reach your desired consistency.
