Ingredients  

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

Instructions 

  • 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.

Notes

  • Add your favorite protein! Shredded rotisserie chicken, cooked shrimp or crispy pancetta are a few of my favorites.
