Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil DeLallo Private Reserve brand
- 1 pound potato gnocchi DeLallo brand
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 shallot minced
- 6 cloves garlic minced
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
- basil fresh, to garnish
Instructions
- Melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Add shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and heat until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Using a slotted spoon, remove as much of the shallot / garlic from the skillet and set aside (we will add it back later). Leave the infused butter and olive oil in the pan.
- Add gnocchi to the pan and cook on high, stirring frequently for about 5-6 minutes. Flip the gnocchi evenly in the pan for crisp texture on all sides.
- Add the shallot and garlic back to the pan, sprinkle half the parmesan and give a quick stir to coat well. Remove the garlic butter parmesan gnocchi from the pan and serve with remaining grated parmesan and fresh basil.
