Ingredients
Scale
Gnocchi
- 500g Potato Gnocchi (fresh or high-quality store-bought)
For Cooking
- 3 tbsp Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh Herbs (parsley or chives), finely chopped
- 1 to 2 tsp White Truffle Oil
- Salt to taste
- Freshly ground Black Pepper to taste
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients. Thaw gnocchi if frozen. Mince garlic and finely chop fresh herbs so that everything is ready for quick cooking and optimal flavor layering.
- Toast the Gnocchi: Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add gnocchi in a single layer and sauté for 6 to 8 minutes, turning occasionally until golden brown on all sides, creating a crisp texture.
- Add Garlic and Herbs: Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant, careful not to brown the garlic. Gently stir in the fresh herbs to keep their vibrant flavor intact.
- Finish with White Truffle Oil: Remove the skillet from heat. Drizzle white truffle oil evenly over the gnocchi and toss to coat, releasing the rich and aromatic truffle essence.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Optionally sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Serve immediately to enjoy the toasted gnocchi’s warm, crispy texture and rich flavors.
Notes
- Use fresh or high-quality store-bought gnocchi for best texture.
- Do not overcook the garlic to avoid bitterness.
- White truffle oil is potent; start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste.
- For a vegan version, substitute butter with plant-based margarine and omit Parmesan cheese.
- Serve immediately after cooking to maintain the toasted crispiness.
