Ingredients
Scale
Gnocchi
- 1 pound potato gnocchi
Sauce
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
- Prepare the sauce: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and stir to combine. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Let it cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Combine and finish: Add the cooked gnocchi directly to the skillet with the sauce. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the creamy sauce. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate the gnocchi immediately while warm, optionally garnished with extra Parmesan or fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
Notes
- For best flavor, use good quality sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but it will be less rich.
- Adding fresh basil or parsley as garnish enhances freshness.
- Make sure to not overcook gnocchi as they can become mushy.
- This recipe can be easily doubled to serve more people.
