Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pound gnocchi
  • 3 tablespoon butter unsalted
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper or to taste
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

Instructions

  • Cook gnocchi according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Add the butter to a large skillet and melt it over medium heat. Add the red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds or until fragrant.
  • Add the gnocchi to the skillet with butter, and cook on high for about 5 minutes. Continuously toss the gnocchi to crisp it on all sides. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another 30 seconds over medium heat.
  • Season with salt, pepper and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Toss well to coat all the gnocchi with cheese.
  • Garnish with basil, sage or parsley. Serve warm.

Notes

  1. Leftovers will last, in an airtight container in the fridge, for 4-5 days. Reheat in the microwave, or you can throw them back into the skillet and cook over medium heat until cooked through. you can throw in a bit more butter if they seem like they're drying out.
  2. I don't recommend freezing cooked gnocchi. They tend to get very soft and mushy once you reheat them after being frozen. If you don't mind the texture, the gnocchi will last 4-6 weeks in the freezer.
