Millionaire Gnocchi with Creamy Sauce is a decadent Italian-inspired dish featuring tender potato gnocchi enveloped in a rich, velvety Parmesan cream sauce enriched with aromatic garlic, luscious truffle oil, and fresh parsley for a burst of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Gnocchi

  • 500 g potato gnocchi

Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon truffle oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Garnish

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. Boil the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, typically until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain the gnocchi and set aside.
  2. Sauté garlic: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned, enhancing the sauce’s flavor.
  3. Make the cream sauce: Pour in the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic butter and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and cook the mixture for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Toss gnocchi in sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi into the skillet with the sauce and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly. Drizzle the truffle oil over the gnocchi and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to your taste preference.
  5. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish as a bright, herbaceous garnish. Serve the millionaire gnocchi immediately while warm and creamy.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated versions.
  • Truffle oil is potent; add it sparingly to avoid overpowering the dish.
  • If desired, you can add sautéed mushrooms or peas for extra texture and flavor.
  • Gnocchi cooks quickly, so watch carefully to avoid overcooking, which can make them mushy.
  • This dish pairs well with a crisp green salad or a glass of white wine like Pinot Grigio.
