Make a rich, creamy garlic butter gnocchi dish using only one pan for simple preparation and minimal cleanup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Do not let the garlic brown.
  3. Add the uncooked gnocchi and the broth to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  4. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the gnocchi are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Reduce the heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
  7. 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.
