Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

Gently drop in the gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, indicating they're perfectly cooked. This should take approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Drain well and set aside.

03

Step
1 mins

While the gnocchi are cooking, melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. (1 minute)

04

Step
1 mins

Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. This should only take about 30 seconds.

05

Step
1 mins

Stir in the Italian seasoning and then add the cooked gnocchi to the skillet. Toss gently to coat. (1 minute)

06

Step
5 mins

Pour in the spaghetti sauce and cook until the sauce is heated through and bubbling slightly, about 5 minutes.

07

Step

Divide the gnocchi between two serving bowls. Garnish generously with freshly shredded Parmesan cheese and thinly sliced fresh basil. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, try browning the butter before adding the garlic.
If you prefer a richer sauce, add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half during the last minute of cooking.
Fresh mozzarella balls make a delicious addition.
