Gnocchi is a fun alternative to pasta and is a great canvas for your favorite sauce. These potato dumplings cook in minutes so you’ll have time to give your sauce some extra attention. Here are three ideas to check out.
Creamy Gorgonzola Sauce
To make this sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add heavy cream and crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, stirring gently until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly. Season with black pepper and nutmeg. Pour the sauce over your cooked gnocchi and enjoy the warm and creamy flavors.
Tomato Basil Sauce
For this timeless classic, start by sauteing minced garlic in olive oil until fragrant. Add diced tomatoes (fresh or canned), simmering until they break down and form a thick sauce. Stir in chopped fresh basil, salt, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a hint of heat, and enjoy.
Brown Butter Sage Sauce
Begin by melting butter in a skillet over medium heat until it starts to brown and emit a nutty aroma. Add fresh sage leaves to the browned butter, frying them until crispy. Remove the sage leaves and set them aside. Drizzle the fragrant brown butter over your cooked gnocchi and enjoy the buttery goodness.
