Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by cooking the gnocchi according to the package instructions, typically boiling them in salted water for about 2-3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to remove them when they float to the surface and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant and golden, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in heavy cream while reducing the heat to low. Allow it to simmer gently for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens slightly.
  4. Gradually add freshly grated Parmesan cheese, stirring continuously until melted and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet with the creamy sauce, tossing gently to coat. Keep on low heat to warm through for 1-2 minutes.
  6. Plate the Millionaire Gnocchi with Creamy Sauce, drizzling any excess sauce over the top and garnishing with additional Parmesan or herbs.
