Ingredients
  

Ingredients:

  • 2 tbsp garlic butter
  • 400 g pan fry gnocchi - you can get this from the refrigerator section in Woolies!
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh herbs

Instructions
 

Method:

  • Add the garlic butter to a fry pan over medium-high heat. Once it’s melted add the gnocchi and cook until golden (about 8-10 minutes), stirring frequently. Once it’s almost cooked, add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese and mix.
  • Add more Parmesan and fresh herbs to serve.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • Tip: Keep stirring the gnocchi frequently to ensure they cook evenly and achieve a golden, crispy texture.
  • Experiment with different herbs like basil, parsley, or chives to add a fresh twist to your dish.
  • For an extra cheesy flavor, consider using Pecorino Romano instead of Parmesan.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a skillet to regain crispiness.
