Ingredients: simple, total time: 20 minutes, 2 serving
  • 250 g of potato gnocchi/ 1 pack

  • 200 g of smoked salmon/ chopped

  • 1 big clove of garlic/ minced

  • 200 ml of fresh liquid cream

  • 1 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 sprig of parsley/ finely chopped

  • 2 Tbsp olive oil EVO

  • pinch of salt

  • black pepper to taste

Preparation:
  • Slice the salmon fillets into smaller portions.

  • Minutely chop the garlic and parsley leaves.


For Gnocchi:

  1. Fill a medium pot with water and add a teaspoon of salt. Bring it to a boil over moderate heat.

  2. Once the water reaches a boil, add the gnocchi and cook for approximately 2–3 minutes.

  3. When the gnocchi float to the surface, remove them with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a colander to drain thoroughly.

  4. Ensure that the gnocchi and sauce are prepared simultaneously, as the gnocchi will be ready quickly.


Creamy Sauce with Salmon:

  1. As the water heats for the gnocchi, pour olive oil into a pan and warm it over medium-low heat.

  2. Add the chopped salmon and sauté for approximately 3–4 minutes, then incorporate the minced garlic clove, cooking briefly until fragrant.

  3. Once the garlic releases its aroma, add the cooking cream and stir for about a minute.

  4. Season to taste and continue cooking for approximately 5 minutes over moderately low heat.

  5. In the final minute, add a spoonful of grated Parmesan and the well-drained gnocchi, mix thoroughly, and then turn off the heat.

  6. Garnish with chopped parsley.

  7. Serve warm, accompanied by grated Parmesan cheese as desired.


Buon appetito!


NOTE:
  • If cooked cream is unavailable, you may use Philadelphia cream cheese combined with a small amount of milk. Mix these ingredients in advance to achieve a similar consistency to cooked cream.

  • Alternatively, béchamel sauce can be used as a substitute. This requires milk, butter, and flour. For the recipe, please refer to this link.
