Creamy Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi
Description
This recipe for Creamy Garlic Parmesan Gnocchi starts by gently sautéing minced garlic and sage leaves in olive oil for a brief moment to release their aromas. Then, skillet gnocchi is added and stirred gently to ensure even cooking and light browning. The liquid ingredients—chicken broth and whipping cream—are introduced to create a creamy base, which is enriched by shredded Parmesan cheese stirred in to melt and thicken the sauce.
Seasoned with salt and a touch of cayenne pepper, the gnocchi become tender and flavorful as they cook for 3 to 4 minutes in the sauce. The finishing touch is adding shaved Parmesan on top, providing a fresh burst of cheese flavor and a slight textural contrast. The dish is served immediately to preserve the creaminess and texture.
This preparation highlights the soft texture of gnocchi complemented by the richness of the cream and cheese sauce. The garlic and sage contribute a mild herbal aroma, while cayenne adds subtle warmth without overpowering. Olive oil can be substituted with melted butter if preferred.
