Ingredients:
- 1 lb potato gnocchi
- 1 wheel of MouCo ColoRouge cheese, cut into small pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh rosemary, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or white wine (optional)
- Fresh thyme sprigs for garnish
Instructions:
- Prepare the Gnocchi:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the potato gnocchi and cook until they float to the top, about 2-3 minutes. Drain the gnocchi and set them aside.
- Sauté the Aromatics:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the garlic—it’s here to enchant, not overwhelm!
- Add the Gnocchi:
- Add the drained gnocchi to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they become slightly golden and crispy on the edges. Stir occasionally to ensure every bite has that perfect crispy-soft contrast.
- Incorporate the ColoRouge Cheese:
- Reduce the heat to low. Add the chopped fresh thyme and rosemary to the skillet, stirring well. Scatter the pieces of MouCo ColoRouge cheese over the gnocchi. If the cheese needs help melting, add a splash of vegetable broth or white wine to create a creamy sauce. Stir gently until the cheese melts and coats the gnocchi.
- Season and Serve:
- Season the dish with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Transfer the ColoRouge Gnocchi to serving plates. Garnish with additional fresh thyme sprigs and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Enjoy:
- Serve hot and let your taste buds savor the richness of this ColoRouge Gnocchi with every delicious bite.
