4.4 from 123 reviews

A luxurious and creamy Millionaire Gnocchi recipe featuring tender potato gnocchi tossed in a rich Parmesan and truffle cream sauce, garnished with fresh parsley for an elegant and indulgent meal.

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. Cook the gnocchi: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook according to package instructions, usually until they float to the surface, indicating they are done. Drain the gnocchi and set them aside.
  2. Sauté garlic: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the unsalted butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic becomes fragrant but not browned, which enhances the flavor of the sauce.
  3. Make the cream sauce: Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and bring it to a gentle simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Combine gnocchi and sauce: Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat them well in the creamy Parmesan sauce. Drizzle the truffle oil over the gnocchi and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  5. Serve and garnish: Garnish the creamy gnocchi with chopped fresh parsley for a bright, herbaceous finish. Serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use fresh potato gnocchi for the best texture, but frozen gnocchi will also work well.
  • Be careful not to overcook the gnocchi to avoid them becoming mushy.
  • For a more intense truffle flavor, add an extra drizzle of truffle oil just before serving.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano for a sharper taste.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp white wine or a light salad.
