lb gnocchi (shelf stable package)

garlic

lemon

Italian seasoning

red pepper flakes

½ tsp cracked pepper

sea salt

c parmesan (more for serving)

parsley (for serving, optional)

Melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat in a 10 inch pan or skillet. Add the minced garlic and allow to heat for about 1 minute to lightly brown, stirring constantly.

Add the uncooked gnocchi and allow to fry for about 12-15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes. If the gnocchi starts to burn, lower the heat slightly. You can fry your gnocchi longer if you prefer it more brown and crispy.

When the gnocchi is golden and crisp on all sides and browned to your taste, turn the heat to low and add in the remaining butter, seasoning and lemon zest. Toss to coat the gnocchi and melt the butter.

When the butter is melted, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the parmesan. Allow to cool for several minutes and then serve with freshly chopped parsley and extra parmesan, if desired.
