Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Potato Gnocchi – 500g (fresh or high-quality store-bought)
- Butter – 3 tbsp
- White Truffle Oil – 1 to 2 tsp
- Garlic – 2 cloves, minced
- Fresh Herbs (parsley or chives) – 2 tbsp, finely chopped
- Salt – to taste
- Black Pepper – freshly ground, to taste
- Parmesan Cheese – ¼ cup grated (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. If your gnocchi is frozen, thaw it completely. Mince the garlic cloves finely and chop the fresh herbs (parsley or chives) to have everything ready for quick cooking and to enhance flavor layering.
- Toast the Gnocchi: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbling. Add the gnocchi in a single layer and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are evenly golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring gently, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. Then gently stir in the fresh chopped herbs to maintain their vibrant aroma and fresh taste.
- Finish with White Truffle Oil: Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the white truffle oil evenly over the gnocchi. Toss gently to coat every piece, releasing the rich, earthy truffle fragrance throughout the dish.
- Season and Serve: Season the gnocchi with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the perfect contrast of toasted texture and warm, flavorful gnocchi.
Notes
- Use fresh or high-quality store-bought potato gnocchi for best texture and flavor.
- Be careful not to burn the garlic; cook it just until fragrant.
- White truffle oil is powerful—start with 1 tsp and add more if desired.
- Serving immediately ensures the gnocchi stays crispy.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a savory richness.
