Soft potato gnocchi, good olive oil, Parmesan and a few simple seasonings are all you need for this easy Italian-inspired dish. Our Garlic Infused Olive Oil creates a savory garlic-rich coating without the need for a heavy sauce, making this gluten-free gnocchi an easy weeknight dinner, side dish or appetizer.

I N G R E D I E N T S :

• 1 lb gluten-free potato gnocchi
• ¼ cup Rocky Mountain Olive Oil Company Garlic Infused Olive Oil, plus more for finishing
• ⅓ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon kosher or sea salt, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1–2 tablespoons reserved gnocchi cooking water, as needed
• Fresh thyme or Italian parsley, roughly chopped, for finishing
• Extra Parmesan for serving

I N S T R U C T I O N S :

1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a gentle boil. Cook the gluten-free gnocchi according to the package directions, usually until the gnocchi float to the surface and are tender.
2. Before draining, reserve about ¼ cup of the cooking water. Drain the gnocchi gently.
3. Return the warm gnocchi to the pot or transfer them to a large skillet over low heat. Add the Garlic Infused Olive Oil and toss gently until every piece is lightly coated.
4. Add the Parmesan, salt and black pepper. Toss again, adding a tablespoon or two of reserved cooking water if needed to help the Parmesan and olive oil form a light, silky coating around the gnocchi.
5. Spoon onto a serving platter or individual plates. Finish with another small drizzle of Garlic Infused Olive Oil, freshly grated Parmesan and a scattering of fresh thyme or parsley.
6. Serve immediately while warm.

Why Garlic Infused Olive Oil Works So Well

Gnocchi con olio is intentionally simple, which means the quality and flavor of the olive oil matter. Garlic Infused Olive Oil adds the savory flavor of garlic directly to the oil, coating the gnocchi without requiring a separate garlic sauce. Parmesan adds saltiness and richness while a little starchy cooking water brings everything together.

Make It Your Own

For a heartier meal, add sautéed mushrooms, wilted spinach, roasted tomatoes or grilled chicken. You can also finish the gnocchi with crushed red pepper for a little heat or a squeeze of fresh lemon to brighten the garlic flavor.
