# Ingredients Required:

→ Gnocchi and Sauce

01 - 450 grams fresh potato gnocchi
02 - 28 grams unsalted butter
03 - 15 milliliters olive oil
04 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
05 - 240 milliliters heavy cream
06 - 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
07 - 1 teaspoon chopped fresh rosemary
08 - 1 teaspoon chopped fresh parsley
09 - Salt, to taste
10 - Black pepper, to taste
11 - Red pepper flakes, optional

# Guide to Cooking:

01 - Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook until they rise to the surface, about 2 to 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
02 - In a large skillet, melt the butter and heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden brown, approximately 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.
03 - Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute, taking care not to burn.
04 - Pour in the heavy cream and allow it to simmer gently for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly thickened.
05 - Add grated Parmesan, rosemary, parsley, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir thoroughly until well combined.
06 - Return the seared gnocchi to the skillet and toss carefully to coat each piece in the creamy sauce evenly.
07 - Plate the gnocchi immediately while hot. Garnish with additional Parmesan, fresh herbs, and red pepper flakes if desired.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - For a lighter sauce, substitute half-and-half for the heavy cream.
02 - Ensure garlic is gently sautéed to prevent burning and bitterness.
