Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 500g potato gnocchi (fresh or high-quality store-bought)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 to 2 teaspoons white truffle oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. If using frozen gnocchi, ensure they are fully thawed. Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh herbs to have them ready for cooking.
- Toast Gnocchi: Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once melted, add the gnocchi in a single layer. Sauté them for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they become golden brown and crispy on all sides.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown. Then, mix in the fresh herbs to infuse their flavor into the gnocchi.
- Finish with Truffle Oil: Remove the skillet from heat, then drizzle the white truffle oil evenly over the gnocchi. Toss everything together gently to coat the gnocchi in the rich truffle aroma.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh or high-quality store-bought gnocchi for the best texture.
- If using frozen gnocchi, thaw completely before cooking to avoid sogginess.
- Adjust the amount of white truffle oil to your taste—it can be quite strong.
- Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a nice savory finish.
- Serve immediately after cooking for optimal crispiness and flavor.
