Instructions

1 ✓

Cook the gnocchi in salted water according to package instructions (usually until they rise to the top).

Tip: Do not overcook, keep them resilient.
2 ✓

Meanwhile, in the frying pan, sauté the crushed garlic in the butter, just until fragrant.

Tip: Butter and garlic are a classic base.
3 ✓

Pour in the cream, bring to a boil, and let thicken slightly (reduction).

Tip: As water evaporates, the cream becomes thicker and richer.
4 ✓

Remove from heat, mix in the Parmesan and truffle oil. Season with salt and pepper.

Tip: Truffle aroma can be heat sensitive, so it's worth adding at the end so it doesn't evaporate.
5 ✓

Toss the cooked, drained gnocchi into the sauce.

Tip: If needed, loosen with a spoon of cooking water.
6 ✓

Serve immediately. If you have fresh truffle, shave thin slices on top now.

Tip: The scent experience is most intense when hot.

Recipe FAQ

Can I use truffle paste instead of oil?
Yes, indeed! A small spoon of paste (tartufata) gives an even more intense flavour.
Where can I get truffles?
Nowadays available in larger supermarkets when in season, or in delicatessens in jar/oil form.
