Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the fresh potato gnocchi to the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- While gnocchi cooks, melt the unsalted butter in a medium skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic clove to the melted butter and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
- For the heavy cream into the skillet with the garlic butter and bring to a gentle simmer.
- Add the ground nutmeg, salt, and ground black pepper to the cream sauce and stir well.
- Let the sauce simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens slightly, stirring occasionally.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the cooked gnocchi from the boiling water and transfer them directly into the skillet with the sauce.
- Gently toss the gnocchi in the creamy nutmeg sauce to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the gnocchi and stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Remove the skillet from heat and serve the creamy nutmeg sauce gnocchi immediately.
Tips
- Use fresh gnocchi for best texture and flavor.
- Do not overcook gnocchi; remove as soon as they float to avoid mushiness.
- Adjust nutmeg quantity to taste but do not omit for authentic flavor.
Serving Suggestions
- green salad with lemon vinaigrette
- steamed asparagus
- roasted cherry tomatoes
Enjoy this creamy nutmeg sauce gnocchi as a comforting and flavorful Italian dish perfect for any occasion.
