Crispy Gnocchi + Creamy Butternut = the cozy dish we love
In the realm of comfort food, we crave gnocchi with butternut cream! This comforting and indulgent dish is super easy and quick to prepare, perfect for evenings when you don’t feel like cooking. To start, roast our butternut in the oven with a little garlic to perfume the flesh. You can add a few spices like paprika or Espelette pepper for a hotter version. Then, blend the flesh with the cream and butter for ultimate creaminess.
Meanwhile, we will fry bacon lardons and gnocchi for a result that’s crispy and soft at the same time. Pour in our sauce, add a generous sprinkle of parmesan, and there you have it! With a little parsley for decoration, this dish will melt the taste buds of the whole family. It’s really easy to recreate at home, and we guarantee you’ll no longer eat gnocchi any other way than with butternut cream. Bon appétit !
