Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package 16 oz cauliflower gnocchi

Instructions
Preparation
- Follow the package instructions to thaw the cauliflower gnocchi. Once thawed, pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
- In a large non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the gnocchi to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are golden brown and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic and butter. Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan over the gnocchi and stir to coat evenly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
- If desired, add sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, spinach, or red pepper flakes to enhance the flavor.
Serving
- Serve the gnocchi hot directly from the skillet for the best flavor and texture.
Storage
- Transfer any leftovers to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Reheat in a skillet for best results.
