Ingredients
- 16 oz gnocchi*
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 large cloves of garlic smashed and minced
- 2 tsp fresh thyme
- 2 oz freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Prepare your ingredients first: smash and mince garlic, take thyme leaves off sprigs, cut butter, and open package of Parmesan cheese if needed.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to boil, stir the water with a wooden spoon, and add gnocchi while water is swirling. (This will help keep gnocchi from sticking.)
- Let gnocchi boil until they all float at the top and give it another minute. Pour water and gnocchi through a fine strainer and let excess water drain off.
- When gnocchi is almost done boiling, preheat a saute pan over medium-high heat.
- Melt butter and start to saute garlic. When garlic starts to golden, add thyme and saute just a couple of seconds until fragrant.
- Carefully add gnocchi, season with some salt, and toss everything to mix. Sear, stirring once in a while, until sides of gnocchi get golden. (If you like it crispier, sear it a little longer until browned.)
- Grate Parmesan cheese over the top, stir, and serve.

Notes
- *Gluten free note: To make this recipe gluten free, use gluten free gnocchi. Many stores (especially healthy grocery stores) carry gluten free gnocchi. If you can’t find them at your stores, you can make homemade gnocchi but substitute gluten free all purpose flour.
- Storing: you can store leftover cooked gnocchi in an air-tight food storage container, in the refrigerator. Store it for 2-3 days.
- Reheating: you can toss leftover gnocchi into a preheated pan and reheat it over medium heat. You can also use a microwave in about 30 second increments, but gnocchi tends to get a little more chewy after the microwave.
