Pan fried gnocchi is one of my absolute favourite dishes/snacks. I typically make my own gnocchi from scratch, but I wanted to be able to share a recipe with everyone and it’s a little impractical to tell everyone to roll out their own gnocchi. Perhaps in the future, I’ll put out my recipe for homemade gnocchi. I’ve used shelf-stable, packaged gnocchi in this recipe (which can be found in the dried pasta isle of your supermarket). You can also watch my youtube video if you want to follow along with the cooking and preparation:
INGREDIENTS:
1 package of gnocchi
3 cloves of garlic chopped
2 cloves of garlic smashed
2 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
½ cup finely grated Parmigiano Reggiano
Pinch of red pepper flakes
STEPS:
- Pour olive oil into a small saucepan on low heat, throw the smashed garlic and red pepper flakes in and let flavours infuse for 5 minutes
- Strain the oil mixture into an empty pan and set aside
- Cook gnocchi in a pot of salted, boiling water until they start to float, drain gnocchi
- Heat the oil mixture in your pan on medium heat and wait until hot or shimmering, then add the gnocchi into the pan
- Pan fry until bottom is golden brown and then flip gnocchi
- Once both sides are crispy and golden, season with salt and pepper
- Add the chopped garlic and cheese, toss several times until cheese has melted and garlic cooked
