Ingredients

• 16 pieces Frozen pierogies (potato and cheese preferred)
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cups Heavy cream
• 1.5 cups Parmesan cheese, grated
• 3 cloves Garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the frozen pierogies and cook according to the package instructions, typically 5-7 minutes, until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked pierogies in a single layer and lightly sauté on both sides until golden, about 2-3 minutes per side. Work in batches if necessary and transfer the sautéed pierogies to a plate.

Step 3

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

Step 4

Stir in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Allow it to heat through for 2-3 minutes while stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese, a handful at a time, until fully incorporated and the sauce is smooth. Season with salt and ground black pepper.

Step 6

Return the sautéed pierogies to the skillet and gently toss them in the Alfredo sauce, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 7

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together and ensuring the pierogies are warmed through.

Step 8

Transfer the Pierogies Alfredo to serving plates and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
