THE CREAMY CHEESY SAUCE
The creamy cheesy sauce for the Pink Gnocchi is a heavenly blend of rich flavors and smooth textures. It starts with a base of sautéed garlic and onions, which adds a savory depth. Then, a mixture of tomato sauce and heavy cream is added, creating a beautiful pink hue and a perfect balance of tangy and creamy. To make it even more indulgent, plenty of grated cheese, such as Parmesan or mozzarella, is melted into the sauce, giving it a velvety texture and a deliciously cheesy flavor. This sauce coats the gnocchi perfectly, making every bite a mouthwatering experience.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED:
- Gnocchi
- Unsalted butter
- Garlic
- Tomato Paste
- Heavy cream
- Salt
- Chili flakes
- Mozzarella cheese
- Parmesan cheese
HOW TO COOK THE GNOCCHI
- Heat the Pan: Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a generous amount of unsalted butter or olive oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
- Add Gnocchi: Once the butter is melted or the oil is hot, add the gnocchi to the pan in a single layer. Be careful not to overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
- Cook Until Golden: Let the gnocchi cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes, or until the bottoms are golden brown and crispy.
- Flip and Cook: Use a spatula to flip the gnocchi and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown all over.
- Season and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the crispy gnocchi with your creamy cheesy pink sauce or any sauce you prefer. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tip: For added flavor, you can sauté some garlic or fresh herbs like sage in the butter or oil before adding the gnocchi to the pan. This will infuse the gnocchi with even more deliciousness.
