Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup vegetable or chicken broth (or dry white wine)
  • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 dash Italian seasoning
  • 1 pound uncooked potato gnocchi
  • 1 cup heavy/whipping cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Add the butter to a skillet over medium-high heat. Once melted, add the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. 
  • Stir in the broth, Dijon mustard, and Italian seasoning. Make sure it's well-combined.
  • Add the gnocchi and cream to the pan. Reduce the heat to medium and cover the pan. Cook for 5 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and stir the parmesan cheese in. Let it cook, uncovered, for another few minutes until the sauce further thickens and the gnocchi is cooked through.
  • Season with salt & pepper as needed and garnish with parsley. 

Notes

  • I used the shelf-stable uncooked gnocchi that you can find in the pasta aisle in grocery stores. No need to cook it ahead of time - it'll cook right in the sauce and the starch from the potatoes will help to thicken the sauce.
  • Serves 4-6 (depending on if it's a main course or side dish).
