Gnocchi with Creamy Asiago Sauce
Ingredients
- 1 lbs homemade or store-bought gnocchi, cooked according to instructions
- 1 shallot, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 4 tablespoons all purpose flour
- 2 cups heavy cream plus more if needed
- 8 oz Stella® Fresh Asiago Cheese, grated
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Stella® Parmesan cheese, freshly grated, for serving (to taste)
Instructions
- On a large sauté pan, melt the butter, over medium heat, and sauté the shallot and garlic until translucent.
- Add the flour and stir to incorporate. Cook for a minute to get rid of the raw flour taste.
- Add the heavy cream and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Remove pan from heat and add the grated Asiago cheese, stirring until the cheese melts and incorporates into the sauce. Add more heavy cream if the sauce thickens too much.
- Toss the cooked gnocchi with the sauce and transfer to a serving plate or plate into individual portions.
- Sprinkle the grated Parmesan and serve with extra black pepper on the side!
