Ingredients
  

For the Gnocchi
  • 500 g potato gnocchi Fresh or frozen varieties work beautifully.
For the Creamy Sauce
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter Can be swapped with ghee or olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced Substitute with 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder for a subtler taste.
  • 1 cup heavy cream Consider half-and-half or coconut cream for a lighter alternative.
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Pecorino Romano can be used for a sharper flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley Substitute with basil or chives if desired.
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil Optional, use olive oil if not available.
  • Salt and black pepper To taste.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Fill a large pot with water and add a generous amount of salt before bringing it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually about 2-4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a skillet, melt unsalted butter over medium heat until it foams. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook for 3-4 minutes until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens.
  4. Gently toss the cooked gnocchi in the creamy sauce, ensuring each piece is well coated. Drizzle with truffle oil and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  5. Finely chop the parsley and sprinkle it over the dish before serving hot.
