Instructions

If you want to make your own homemade gnocchi follow the recipe on the blog. If you buy them, make sure they are freshly made.
1 lb homemade gnocchi
In a pan pour the truffle sauce, the cream and the butter. Do not turn on the heat.
1 jar truffle cream, ½ cup cream, ¼ cup butter
In a large pan next to it, boil the salted water to cook the gnocchi.
When the water is boiling, gradually put the gnocchi in the boiling water. Depending on the size of the pan you are using, it is best not to put them all at once.
When the gnocchi start floating, remove them with a ladle and put them in the pan over the truffle cream. The heat from the gnocchi will melt the butter and soften the sauce. Stir but very gently.
Continue until all the gnocchi are cooked
Once all the gnocchi are done stir the gnocchi with the sauce to combine. Always stir very gently as the gnocchi from my recipe have no egg and are very soft.
Transfer the gnocchi to a serving dish and bring it to the table. They should be eaten immediately while still warm topped by Parmesan cheese
