Tips for Success
- Don’t overcook the gnocchi – they should be tender but still slightly chewy
- Reserve pasta water – it helps create a silky sauce
- Use freshly grated Parmesan – pre-grated won’t melt as smoothly
- Add basil at the end – this keeps its fresh flavor and bright color
Variations
- Protein: Add Italian sausage, shrimp, or chicken
- Veggies: Stir in spinach, mushrooms, or cherry tomatoes
- Spice: Add red pepper flakes or Italian seasoning
- Cheese: Try adding mozzarella for extra creaminess
Storage
- Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days
- Reheat gently on stovetop or microwave with a splash of cream
- Not recommended for freezing
