Ingredients
- 500 grams gnocchi
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- 0.75 cups heavy cream
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 6 leaves fresh basil leaves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 4 cups water
Directions
Step 1
Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a large pot over medium-high heat.
Step 2
Add salt to the boiling water, then carefully add the gnocchi. Cook until the gnocchi floats to the surface, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 3
In a large skillet, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter is melted.
Step 4
Add the minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 5
Pour in the marinara sauce and stir well to combine. Let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Step 6
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Step 7
Add the Parmesan cheese, stirring until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce.
Step 8
Season the rosa sauce with black pepper and additional salt, if needed.
Step 9
Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet and gently toss to coat evenly with the rosa sauce.
Step 10
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on the side.
