This Garlic Butter Parmesan Fried Gnocchi is such an easy and flavorful dish. It’s ready in only 15 minutes and you only need a handful of ingredients to make this into the perfect weeknight dinner for 2 or an amazing appetizer for 4.
4 tbsps unsalted butter
500 gr / 1 pound gnocchi
½ tsp fine sea salt
3 cloves garlic, minced
45 gr / ½ cup grated Parmesan
2 tbsps fresh parsley, chopped
Melt 3 tbsps of butter in a medium sized skillet over medium high heat. Leaving 1 tbsp of butter behind.
Add the gnocchi to the pan and season with salt. Fry for 8-10 minutes until crispy and starting to brown. Stir frequently to avoid any sides burning.
In the last 30 seconds of cooking stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter, minced garlic and HALF of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir constantly until everything has melted to prevent the gnocchi from sticking together.
Remove from heat and stir in chopped fresh parsley and remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
If you want more of a buttery sauce you can add more than 1 tbsp of butter in the last 30 seconds.
