Servings: 3
Ingredients
- 1 16 ounce package gnocchi
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon black truffle, minced
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Start a large pot of water on the stove top to come to a boil. Add the gnocchi to the water once it is boiling. Gnocchi should only take a few minutes to cook in the boiling water. Consult your package directions.
- While the water is coming to a boil start a small sauce pan over medium heat. Add the heavy cream to come to a simmer without boiling. Add the butter, truffles and black pepper to the cream.
- When the gnocchi are finished cooking use a slotted spoon to remove them from the boiling water and place them in the cream sauce. Stir to coat in the sauce.
- Garnish with parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
If you have any remaining gnocchi leftover you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a sauce pan for several minutes stirring occasional. If the sauce needs to be thinned out add a splash of milk or cream.
