Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 16 oz gnocchi
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 3 large cloves of garlic (smashed and minced)
  • 2 tsp fresh thyme
  • 2 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt to taste

Instruction

  • Prepare your ingredients first: smash and mince garlic, take thyme leaves off sprigs, cut butter, and open package of Parmesan cheese if needed.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, stir the water with a wooden spoon, and add gnocchi while water is swirling. (This will help keep gnocchi from sticking.)
  • Let gnocchi boil until they all float at the top and give it another minute. Pour water and gnocchi through a fine strainer and let excess water drain off. 
  • When gnocchi is almost done boiling, preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat.
  • Melt butter and start to saute garlic. When garlic starts to golden, add thyme and saute just a couple of seconds until fragrant.
  • Carefully add gnocchi, season with some salt, and toss everything to mix. Sear, stirring once in a while, until sides of gnocchi get golden. (If you like it crispier, sear it a little longer until browned.)
  • Grate Parmesan cheese over the top, stir, and serve.
