A delightful twist on classic gnocchi, featuring a creamy basil sauce that is both flavorful and comforting.
Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a boil.
Adding salt to the water enhances the flavor of the gnocchi.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, combine the fresh basil, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper over medium heat.
Stir frequently to prevent the cream from scorching.
Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally.
Simmering allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Add the potato gnocchi to the boiling water and cook until they float to the surface, about 3-4 minutes.
Floating gnocchi indicates they are cooked through.
Drain the gnocchi and add them to the basil cream sauce, stirring gently to coat.
Be gentle to avoid breaking the delicate gnocchi.
Serve the gnocchi topped with grated parmesan cheese.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
