Here’s a simple and flavorful way to make Gnocchi with Herbs—soft potato dumplings tossed in a fragrant herb butter sauce. 🥔🌿
🥘 Ingredients (serves 2–4)
- 1 lb (450 g) potato gnocchi (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 tbsp butter or olive oil
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1–2 tsp fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, basil, or rosemary), chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: grated Parmesan cheese for serving
🥄 Instructions
- Cook the gnocchi
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add gnocchi and cook until they float to the surface (about 2–3 minutes). Drain and set aside. - Prepare herb butter
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. - Toss gnocchi
Add drained gnocchi to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in butter. Sprinkle in chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Cook 2–3 minutes until lightly golden. - Serve
Plate gnocchi and sprinkle with grated Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
✨ Tips
- For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Can also toss with sautéed mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or spinach for a more substantial dish.
- For a richer version, stir in a splash of cream before serving.
If you want, I can give a baked gnocchi with herbs and cheese version that’s crispy on top and gooey inside—like a mini casserole. Do you want me to do that?
