  • 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter 30g
  • 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil 15ml
  • 4 cloves Garlic 20g, minced
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream 240ml

Equipment

Method
 

Searing the Gnocchi
  1. In a large skillet, melt 2 tbsp (30g) butter with 1 tbsp (15ml) olive oil over medium-high heat until bubbling.
  2. Add gnocchi in a single layer. Cook undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until a distinct golden-brown, crispy seared crust forms on the flat sides.
Preparing the Sauce
  1. Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  2. Pour in 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  3. Stir in 1/2 cup (50g) parmesan cheese until the sauce is thick, glossy, and pale ivory-colored.
Plating
  1. Transfer to a bowl. Top with fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, extra parmesan, and cracked black pepper.

Notes

Do not boil gnocchi first for the crispiest result.
Always grate parmesan from a block for a smooth, non-grainy sauce.
