Ingredients:
- 500g of gnocchi
- 4 tablespoons of butter
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- A handful of fresh parsley, chopped
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Step 1: Boiling the Gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once boiling, carefully add the gnocchi and cook according to the package instructions. Gnocchi is ready when they float to the surface of the water.
Step 2: Draining the Gnocchi
Using a slotted spoon, remove the cooked gnocchi from the pot and transfer them to a colander to drain excess water.
Step 3: Preparing the Sauce
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, around 1-2 minutes.
Step 4: Cooking the Gnocchi in Bianco
Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss them in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are lightly golden and coated in the sauce.
Step 5: Adding the Final Touches
Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cooked gnocchi. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
Step 6: Serving
Transfer the gnocchi in bianco to serving plates or bowls. Finish off by generously sprinkling grated Parmesan cheese on top of each portion.
