Ingredients
Scale
- 500g potato gnocchi
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan and basil if desired.
Notes
For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or Greek yogurt. Pair with a crisp green salad for a balanced meal.
