Ménage à Trois Gnocchi

Ingredients

• 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp fresh thyme (or ½ tsp dried)
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (drained if packed in oil)
• 1 lb gnocchi (shelf-stable, refrigerated, or frozen)
• ¼ cup fresh basil, chopped or torn
• Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste

Directions

1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Build the sauce by stirring in the heavy cream, chicken broth, Parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer.
4. Add the gnocchi straight into the pan (no need to pre-boil if using shelf-stable or refrigerated). Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the gnocchi are tender and the sauce thickens slightly — about 6–8 minutes.
5. Stir in fresh basil just before serving. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
6. Pair with Ménage à Trois Silk and enjoy!
