Ingredients

• 500 grams Potato gnocchi
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 30 grams Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi and set them aside.

Step 2

In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and the mixture is hot.

Step 3

Add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet in a single layer. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are golden and crispy on the outside.

Step 4

Push the gnocchi to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the minced garlic to the empty side. Cook the garlic for 1 minute until fragrant, then stir it into the gnocchi.

Step 5

Sprinkle the fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper over the gnocchi. Toss to combine evenly and cook for another minute.

Step 6

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the gnocchi. Toss gently to coat the gnocchi in the cheese.

Step 7

Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
