Cooking Instructions

step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add Gnocchi (1 lb), and cook according to package directions, or until the gnocchi floats to the top, about 5 minutes. Strain and reserve 2 cups of pasta water.

step 2

Get a large sauté pan and melt the Unsalted Butter (2 Tbsp) over medium heat. Add in the cooked gnocchi, Ground Black Pepper (2 tsp), and Parmesan Cheese (1/2 cup). Bring the heat up and stir quickly until the cheese is melted and the gnocchi is well coated.

step 3

Pour in more of the reserved water if you like the sauce thinner. Season with Salt (to taste).

step 4

Serve with more grated parmesan and ground black pepper.
