Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 17.5 oz gnocchi
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tbsp parmesan cheese grated
Instructions
- No need to boil the gnocchi first. The oil and heat soften the pasta in the pan.
- Add about a teaspoon of oil to the bottom of the skillet. Set heat to high.
- Add in minced garlic and wait until the oil starts to sizzle. At this point, reduce the heat to medium.
- Pour in the entire package of gnocchi. Mix the gnocchi up to coat in oil and garlic.
- Heat for about 8 minutes, stirring every minute, until gnocchi is heated through. You may need to turn the heat up to medium high. The oil should be sizzling without burning the gnocchi.
- Now add the seasonings: pepper and Italian seasoning. Sprinkle in grated parmesan cheese. Then stir the gnocchi with a spatula to mix it in with the seasonings.
- Turn off the heat and move the cooked gnocchi to a serving plate.

Notes
- Add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan
- This recipe makes slightly firmer gnocchi than the traditional method of boiling. If you prefer the gnocchi softer, boil it first and then pan fry it.
- No need for salt once you add the parmesan cheese, but you can sprinkle some salt in if you would like
