Instructions

  • Heat a large nonstick pan or cast-iron skillet on high heat.
  • Add butter and let foam shortly.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low and add the gnocchi. Pan fry gently, stirring a few times in between, to make sure that they get golden and crispy on both sides. They should remain fluffy on the inside, so don’t overcook them.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Either refrigerated, frozen or vacuum-packed. Not dried ones.
