Quick Gnocchi with Crispy Garlic

PREP: 10 minutes
COOK: 10 MINUTES
YIELD: 2 to 4 servings

Ingredients

1 (16-oz.) package store-bought (refrigerated) gnocchi
2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large cloves garlic, cut into thin slices
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Directions

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

Add the butter, plus a pinch of salt and pepper, to a large sauté pan set over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, reduce the heat to medium-low, add the garlic slices and cook them, stirring constantly, until they are deep golden brown and slightly crisped.

Reduce the heat to low. Add the cooked gnocchi to the pan, stirring to combine. Add the Parmesan cheese and chives and cook an additional 1 minute until the cheese has melted. Serve immediately.
